Hohner has been making moderately priced acoustic guitars since the 1970s. Beginning players favour them for their inexpensive pricing and solid construction. Playing a Hohner guitar has at least one major disadvantage, however--It's impossible for a Hohner owner to tell for certain when the guitar was made. Unlike other guitar makers that use specifically coded serial numbers to signify a guitar's month and date of production, no such system exists for Hohner guitars. Dating a Hohner guitar requires the owner to describe the instrument in detail and ask the company to estimate the date of manufacture.
Send the photos and notes electronically. If you took the pictures digitally, attach them to the body of an e-mail along with the written description of your guitar and a short note saying you would like to determine your guitar's date of manufacture. The email address is web...@hohnerusa.com
