Just another Honer on the block...


https://reverb.com/item/2...fgodXw0CwQ

I had a fun time tonight checking out the story behind the Honer guitar, and got to wondering if there were any out there up for sale. Sadly, the only one out there is out of my price range.


There's something endearing about Prince getting a luthier to replicate the instrument:

I don't play guitar, but this was interesting and the guitar is pretty.

I'm no expert on guitars but I always though he liked the Hohner as it was lighter and had a smaller build than the Fender. Obviously to suit his size.

I heard that the reason he liked it better was sentimental cuz his father bought it for him.

I dunno if that's true or not.
