1. Hohner Guitar Models

I've seen that headstock on both a Cort and a Honer guitar. Here are some pics of a Hohner professional L75 I have.

Hohner Guitar Models

I have a early Hohner LP Style guitar,their are No Serial Numbers on the guitar,only a old sticker on the bolt on neck plate stating
HG130M..but that must be wrong because that numbers goes to a Contessa from the 60s! Hope that You can help me with the ID and its age!
Respects
PoorOtis

the guitars dark red,mahogany body/neck,Rosewood Fretboard with old style radio knobs

Otis:
Click on the below link and scroll down until you come to the Hohner models of LP type guitars. There are several listed and see if you can match the pictures to your model. If so, click on that models picture or title for information.

Hohner didn't start producing guitars until the 1970's so yours is not from the 1960's.

Blue Book has the HL, HS, HR, and MR series listed. No HG Series are listed within Blue Book. Sorry Bud....

Hope this helps you out some,

Be Good,

  Hohner professional L-90

  Hi, well I want to buy a new guitar I was looking for a used epi goldtop 56 until someone offered me a Hohner professional L90 (im at work now, will copy some pics later). Well I really dont have any idea on this guitars, I looked online but couldnt find much info.
  Acording to the seller the guitar was made in the early 80's in Japan, and he told me that it doesnt have a serial number.
  Again, I really dont know anything about this guitar but the finishes and details are really nice, thast why it got my attention.
  If you can give me some info about the type of woods it has, if the story about the guitar makes sense and if the guitar is worth it and of course any general info about it.
  I dont write the prices because I live in Argentina and the prices here are very expensive compared to the US, but he is selling me the guitar at the same price of a used epi goldtop.
  Thank you for reading
  Andres

  ...looks good!...an 80's Japanese made LP would be preferable over a current Chinese Epi Goldtop (IMHO)...obviously, at least one of the original pickups was swapped out...how does it sound?...

  From what he told me he changed the pickups, the one in the neck is a Gibson p90 and the one in the bridge is a Dimarzio p90
