Hohner Essential Series Parlor Acoustic Guitar, Main
The smaller body and wider neck make this the perfect guitar for blues and folk guitarists. It features Grover tuners and D'Addario strings.

This model comes with a body shape originally designed in the late 1800s. At 40", the instrument is a bit shorter than a dreadnought. The body is similar, yet smaller than a grand auditorium and provides for a more even frequency response. The Parlor Guitar is physically smaller, but the sound is not! It is particularly well suited for rooms and environments that should not be overwhelmed with bass.

These instruments are predominantly played by guitarists in different blues and folk styles who need a guitar that cuts through on all the strings. The neck width is slightly wider than the dreadnought and is therefore a first choice for fingerstyle players. The smaller body size is very comfortable for smaller players. Grover tuners and factory strings by D'Addario.

"Just a great, well made guitar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I've had this guitar for about 10 years. I was looking for a parlor sized guitar that had a more standard shape. I played this at a small music store in Concord Ca. I loved the neck, the action, the sound. I bought it on the spot without really knowing much about it. I have been playing for 50 years. I know about guitars. I knew this was a and is a great little guitar. The woods are solid, which was a signature of the essential roots line at the time. It has a nice matte finish and for those 10 years it has remained my favorite acoustic. The neck is just wide enough for my fat fingerpicking fingers. The sound is big for a small guitar. IU've played out with it and with a dean markly sound hole pickup it sings..i just wanted to give it some internet props.. I know Hohner stopped making guitars.. If you find one, id buy it. I like the sound and feel better than my BABY Taylor.
