Hansen Guitars S-Style HSS Electric Guitar in British Racing Green

The Hansen Guitars S-Style is a hand-crafted instrument, inspired by arguably the world's most famous guitar design. Taking the spirit of that iconic shape and retaining its signature components, the Hansen S-Style goes the extra mile with its premium woods and high-end hardware appointments, to ensure the best tones and playability possible.

Quality Construction

The S-Syle features a lightweight Khaya Mahogany body which delivers a warm, resonant sound with pleasant overtones in the mid-range. The rock-solid Roasted Maple neck complements the Mahogany body by giving the guitar a "snappy" and immediate quality — with a playable 12" radius and medium-hard German Silver frets.

Proprietary Hansen Pickups

A pair of hand-wired Hansen S-Tone neck/middle pickups deliver that authentic "Golden Era" single-coil sound, fully emitting those nostalgic '50s and '60s tones with amazing conviction. Made with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups yield a sparkly presence that is incredible when used in conjunction with clean settings. They're also also fantastic with overdrive too, remaining crystal-clear and articulate so that you can effortlessly cut through in a full band mix. These single-coils are paired with a thick, powerful bridge humbucker — forming a supremely-versatile HSS configuration that can handle any musical style!

High-Quality Hardware

The Hansen vintage-style tremolo has a stable feel, with its rolled Steel saddles less susceptible to wear over time. This means excellent tuning stability even with consistent tremolo use, especially when paired with the Gotoh Kluson-style tuners at the other end of the instrument. A signature Hansen feature is the Norwegian Moose Bone nut. Buried in the earth for a year, this natural treatment leaves the bone hard and beautifully tinted, making it perfect for shaping.
