Would have to say the Hohner, but maybe thats because I've just put a deposit down on the (new) re-issued model! To say I'm excited (and soon to be broke) may be a slight understatement!!

Since the Hohner is getting some attention, can someone explain this to me. The Hohner was made after the Fender Telecaster (and is at present no longer available: www.hohner.eu). This always make me think of the Hohner in a way that the Squier is to the Stratocaster, as B status. So how come Prince choose that as his guitar?


The 'hohner' that prince uses is unusual by hohner standards...though it is branded 'hohner', it was made in the same factory in japan that the top end ibanez guitars come from

apparently the ones prince uses were made by one guy,

some of the re issues are ok (some are shite) but not in the same league (trust me, i have one!)

Fender's are usually Ash or Alder. The Hohner is made of ALL 100% Maple, which has a lot of punch and sounds kinda brittle and bright. I guess he likes that.....


Aha, thanks. Do you happen to know the pricing compared to the Telecaster? I guess the Hohner is not some cheaper copy then?


You can run across them on Ebay every now and then. I suppose they were pretty cheap at some point, but since Prince is associated with them, they have gone a up some in price....

If you do get one though...be warned it's probably heavy as fuck.....
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

The Hohner.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
