A nice example of a Telecaster copy from the 90's by Hohner. Built in Korea. Conrad were a rare Japanese manufacturer who made good quality & highly rated guitars but no longer exist.

Glen Allen, VA (January 7, 2007) - Hohner has announced the introduction of a new model to their line of electric guitars, the HTA490 'The Artist.' “We've made a few improvements to the electronics, and some very minor cosmetic changes to differentiate the new model,” said Rick Gagliano, fretted division.

A couple of years ago, I started a thread about Hohner guitars. Since I have been a long time owner of a Hohner G-940 acoustic, when I started that thread I was thinking of acoustics, and so I placed that thread in the 'Acoustic Heaven' section. But since the name of the thread was 'Any Hohner love out there in TDPRI land?' Periodically TDPRI members would post about their Hohner (and Steinberger) electrics. So every now and then I would think about starting a Hohner club thread, and placing it in the Guitar Owners Clubs section. But I wasn't sure the interest was there, and so I never got around to it.

Well today something else occurred to me. At times I've caught myself thinking of my Hohner thread like a club thread. But since it's not, posting to it after long periods of dormancy could raise 'zombie' accusations. So, I'm officially starting a 'Hohner Owners' (say that five times real fast ) club thread.

Acoustic and electrics are both welcome. I'll post pics and descriptions of mine a little later on, when time permits. But I just wanted to get this started.

If any other of you Hohner owners beat me to the punch, well, that's just fine with me. Okay, I'll post about my Hohners now. Or begin to, at least. I have two and I'll probably comment on them in separate posts. As I said back 2009, many if not most references to Hohners I had read to that point were either apologetic or outright derogatory in nature. I started 'Any Hohner love out there in TDPRI land?'

As a means of correcting that problem. Free Voice Changer Software For Pc. I wanted people to know that there are some nice Hohners out there. And I don't just mean nice entry level guitars, although that's certainly true as well. I mean nice, really nice, quality guitars on the higher end of the spectrum. My Hohner G-940 case in point. I've had her now for 28+ years, she's just great.

She's a part of that 900 Arbor series that David (bridgepinSr.) just mentioned. All solid woods, aged woods. These guitars were made in Japan from 1979 to 1985, IIRC. Bought mine in 1983 for $600, which is equivalent to $1,300 + today. I'll put her up against anything Martin or Taylor has in that price range today.

The (my) 940 has an 'aged close grain solid spruce' top, solid select mahogany back & sides, solid Honduran mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The bridge is rosewood, the body is bound with maple, top and back. The neck and headstock are also bound in maple. Position markers are inlaid maple, as is the name on the headstock.

The nut and saddle are bone. The only plastic on this guitar is the pickguard.

Here are some pics of what I’m talking about. The Hohner is on the right in the picture (in my left hand). The other acoustic is my Breedlove AD25/SM acoustic/electric, and my Logan Custom mahogany Tele is in the middle. An older pic, of me playing the Hohner for my grandson Corbin (he's 10 now).

My Hohner in action. That neck still plays like butter, and she has balanced tones and great projection, no doubt due to all the solid woods and the dreadnaught size. I don't take her out of the house much anymore, but she's the centerpiece of my meager collection of 7 guitars (4 acoustics, 3 Logan Custom Teles). I'll never part with her. My son inherits her when I'm gone. Here's the story on my second Hohner. Back on September 1st, I pulled the trigger on a later (albeit discontinued) model Hohner, the DR550.

All solid woods: solid cedar top, solid rosewood back & sides, 1 piece mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge. Here's a stock photo from the Hohner website. I wanted to the get the DR550CE, the cutaway version with the Fishman electronics, but I couldn't find one. The DR5500 is the (strictly) acoustic version.
