Description

Vintage 1970s Hokada 3166 classical guitar. Very good condition. Solid tonewoods.

If you know, then you know. If not then read on…..

Brilliant and much under-rated classical guitars, Hokadas are really well made, great sounding and wonderfully playable instruments. This particular 3166 was made in Romania in the 1970s, distributed in UK by Stentor Music Ltd and is a great example of the quality of these guitars.

All solid tonewoods; solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides. Rosewood fingerboard. Great quality tuners. Exceptional tone and volume. Traditional and high quality fan bracing. Bone saddle. Real wood marquetry soundhole inlay.

The scale length of 610mm means this is an instrument which is very slightly smaller than traditional classical guitars. The size is comparable with modern parlour instruments but with a nicely comfortable 50mm nut width. Speaking as big fan of parlour guitars, this size of instrument is great for ease of playing, but also produces a slightly brighter, mid-upper range focussed sound. Even on a nylon-strung guitar the sound is sweet and tight. Wonderful to record and sounds great in a mix.

A guitar that’s a bit under the radar for many people, but they do have a loyal enthusiastic following because they are simply well made, high quality instruments.

Hokada are still making great guitars, but these original 1970s Romanian made instruments really do have something special.

A great guitar for who want to add something a little different to their sonic palate.

Nut width 50mm, overall length 925mm, scale length: 610mm

This one is in very good condition with very light playing wear.

A few dings, but nothing major. Binding is still in place and no lifting frets. All feels tight and safe.

A great sounding, well made instrument with some history behind it and still able to produce great music.
