[Profile]
Born in 1947 in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, Shinpei Nishino began building guitars in his teenage years. At the age of 17, he apprenticed under the legendary Tsunezaburo Kurosawa in 1964. In 1969, he established his own workshop in Tokorozawa, marking the beginning of his independent career. From the start, Nishino showed a deep interest in the work of Hermann Hauser I, which continues to influence his guitar making to this day. Drawing from his dedicated research, he has consistently produced guitars with exceptional tonal balance.

Nishino was one of the first Japanese luthiers to craft electric classical (elegat) guitars. His renowned precision in craftsmanship also brought him numerous requests from the acoustic guitar world, resulting in a limited number of high-quality acoustic models. Still, it is the Hauser-style classical guitars that best reflect his aesthetic sensibilities and technical mastery. Each instrument boasts remarkable beauty, a lustrous tone, and outstanding acoustic balance, staying true to the Hauser name. The materials he uses are of a superb grade for this price range, making his guitars one of the most cost-effective options available in Japan.

[Description]
Shinpei Nishino No.35 Hauser Model – Spruce / Indian Rosewood – 630mm Scale (2025 New Arrival)
This latest 2025 model from Shinpei Nishino showcases his deep reverence for Hauser’s tonal ideals and structural philosophy. Faithful to the spirit of the original while incorporating Nishino’s own subtle stylistic nuances, the guitar offers both visual elegance and tonal integrity.

Though it features a slightly smaller body and a 630mm short scale, it makes no compromises in acoustic performance. Instead, it offers a unique sonic character that is both rich and responsive—hallmarks of Nishino’s craft. This is a standout instrument for those seeking a Hauser-inspired guitar with a more compact feel, without sacrificing sound quality.
