RE: Aaron Green on Hauser, good chat (in reply to estebanana)
Thanks for that. At 10:07 the letter was written by the guitar teacher of both my mother and father. My dad took over his job as guitar teacher at American University. My mom got her Hauser 2 likely via this connection and her dad was in Germany in 1960 and picked it up to bring back. My dad wanted the same figured wood and ordered one to match...Hauser 2 recommended against the bear claw because he had better wood on hand. Since my grandfather was somehow involved ($?) the aesthetic won out and the guitar my dad got was no good. He played it for a while and sold it, holding out for a much better used one that I have now (1968).

RE: Aaron Green on Hauser, good chat (in reply to Ricardo)
I shared this before, but a piece my dad wrote I am playing my mom's Hauser 2 1960. Notice it was scaled down 3/4 all around (even machine heads lol). I don't think I could ever replace those machines in the future. It sounds as a normal size guitar IMO.
Any idea if that scaled down sized affects the value up or down? Up cuz it is rare, or down because people want the normal size?
