The Model 228 and Model 1229 are modern takes on a great, arguably the greatest, solid body design. Every guitar is made with the highest quality woods, metal and paint.

Model 228 bodies are generally swamp ash or alder. One piece bodies are sometimes available. Necks are all one-piece maple and are generally semi-quartersawn or quartersawn.

Model 1229 bodies and necks are mahogany.

Rosewood fretboards are available for all guitars at no extra cost.

All paint is nitrocellulose lacquer. For the truest vintage tone, no vinyl/plastic filling or undercoats are applied.

Hardware is the highest quality available - whatever you want, and whatever the particular build needs.
- Hahn bridges, control plates and neck plates are all stainless steel and electropolished.
- Hahn knobs are heavy knurl brass, and are chromed as well. Featherweight aluminum knobs are also available. Flat- or dome-top.
- Hahn compensated brass saddles have a warm, clear tone and intonate perfectly.

Pickups are from any manufacturer of your choice. I generally work with pickups by Fralin, Duncan, Lollar and Voodoo. But, like with hardware choices, the pickups need to fit your amp, effects and most of all your playing style and sonic goals.

Nut: bone.

Tuners: Gotoh/Kluson.

Finally, every Hahn Model 228 is built entirely by me. Each edge is sanded, screw is screwed and drop of paint is applied by me. I cut every nut and setup each guitar. Every guitar has a plan before it's built, but each one must be sound and play-tested for days, if not a week or two, before it is considered "finished." Playability and sound are, after all, the ultimate tests of any guitar, boutique or otherwise.

I hope to get a chance to build one for you.

Satisfaction Guarantee.
Finally, all guitars come with a full "satisfaction" guarantee -- that is, if you don't love the guitar you can send it back for a full refund. You have 48 hours to check out the guitar. I only ask that, as a matter of good will, the guitar be played only for the purpose of evaluation during this period (i.e. no gigs!). Of course, if the guitar incurs any damage, I reserve the right to either not accept the guitar back, or charge a repair and restocking fee as is required given the specific damage. Be careful with it during this checking out period! If you do send the guitar back, you will have to pay the return shipping, but Hahn Guitars will still cover the original standard shipping out to you.
