Henkes & Blazer / Savannah / Cherry / Guitar

Savannah, Cherry

Savannah

The ultimate 12-string guitar.

Being one of the first 12-string guitars, originally produced by several of the large guitar manufacturing companies of Chicago since around 1925, it was the first choice of many blues musicians of its era.

Due to its typical ladder bracing and the extra-long scale its sound was considerably fuller and more dynamic than modern 12-string guitars.


Just like the original the Savannah has a tail piece and a non-glued bridge, a long 12-fret body with a width of 15-3/4” and a scale length of 27.1”.

For back and sides you can choose between maple and cherry. Also available as a special edition is „Lead Belly’s Stella“.

- Pearl dots in fingerboard
- Tailpiece
