: : : Is there anyone who could give me a resource site or any information on this fine guitar maker (Arthur Hansel) From what I can gather he hand made by himself about 3 or 4 hundred guitars. Some commisioned for some international artist. There are others looking but the tread has been discontinued. They are very rare guitars and there just isn't too much info out there that I can find. I have a dear old friend who is planning his estate and wants to pass on some history and value of the guitar to his beneficiary and for his own interest as well. The guitar was bought in the 50's and the label states Handmade by Arthur Hensel #203 in 1949. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

: Hi Nancy
: I Have also. It's modeol 203 made in 1948. I was also wondering about the value of it. If I find out I'll let you know. Might be wise to go to one of those Autions that are on television.
: These guitars were made in Canada. My Uncle purchased it from Sears in 1948.
: Keep in touch if you find anythinbg else out.
: Thanks Ron
