Hohner HW03 3/4 Sized Steel String Acoustic Guitar Hohner student guitars are a prefered choice for music educators and students worldwide. The HW03 is crafted with a Spruce top and Basswood back and sides. The 3/4 scale is designed and recommended for players between the ages of 8-12. Just for reference the serial number on mine is C100628. It has both active and passive pick-up modes although some active feedback at a gig fried the pre-amp. However, all of that probable isn't that much help to you as it's probably not the bass you have.

Hohner Professional Guitar Serial Numbers Pictures
The 3 original models (1975-1980?)
Hohner TE HG490 Telecaster
H.S. Anderson TE HS-1 (or TE HS-80?) 'Madcat' Telecaster
Bill Lawrence TE Telecaster
All of the above are the original design, leopard print style pickguard, cheap telecaster copy from the late 1970s (the Lawrence has a unique 'hooked' headstock). As we know Prince bought the Hohner version in or around 1980.
The Replica model (1985-1990 or 1985-1993?)
Hohner TE/The Prinz
On the back of the success of Purple Rain, Hohner re-issued a replica that retained the Fender style headstock, but the pickguard now looked more tortoise-shell than leopard print. The wording on the headstock reads THE Prinz. These are usually serial numbered by year on the back plate where the neck bolts on to the body. The latest serial number I have seen begins 89**** for the model with the Fender style headstock. Lending credence to the lawsuit shape change kicking in around 1990.
The Re-Issue Replica Model (1991-1994 or 1991-1996?)
Hohner TE Prinz
A re-issue of the replica above, THE was replaced with TE on the headstock text. This time a Fender lawsuit prevented the use of the Fender style headstock. The new headstock had a more pointed look. Tortoise-shell style pick guard again. The 1990s models were supposedly inferior in build quality and sound to the 1980s TE Prinz models. The serial numbers on these seem more randomly generated and sellers listing them on Ebay seem to be under the impression that they are mid-1980s models. I don't think they are.
The new replica models (2008)
Hohner The Artist HTA490
Hohner The Artist Elite
The latest Hohner replicas to be made. The pickguard is now closer to the original leopard print style but still not exactly like Prince's guitar. The headstock has been changed again to have a more curved look (but again nothing like the original Fender style). Both the HTA490 and Elite look identical but the Elite is more expensively (hand) made. Either the HTA490 or the Elite (not sure which) has apparently been put together with the help of some of Prince's ex-guitar techs who know some of the modifications he has made over the years. The Elite is also available in complete black finish (The Black Prince) much like their mid-1980s Hohner TE Custom (sister guitar to the TE Prinz).
Hopefully that's pretty close to correct and may help to answer some questions that pop up on here from time to time.

Hohner began producing electric guitars. The Pro Harp was another model that was in Hohner's handmade. The bottom cover plate has the serial numbers from.

Maybe you've already sold this, but in case you haven't I just want to drop in my 2 cents. These guitars are known to be very hard to date exactly (I have one myself and have spent a fair bit of time on the web researching them), but generally are agreed to date between mid-70s and mid-80s.
If you look on the Mylespaul.com forums you'll see that these guitars are very highly regarded by LP enthusiasts, and I've seen multiple mentions of 250-300 being something of a steal. Many of these threads are a few years old, and I get the sense a certain hype has built for these guitars, plus yours looks to be pristine. So I think you should be able to bring in well more than that.
Mac os for creative cloud. Some of these Hohner LPs are made with the pancake mahogany construction, which I understand are the prized ones. On one of those MLP forum threads someone described that this construction is indicated by a single, very faint line which can be seen running along the middle of the edge of the guitar.
Hope you land a good deal for it, and it goes to someone who appreciates a fine instrument! Moom for mac.

- Hey hey,
A fried of mine has aquired an old knackered hohner les paul - the finish has been changed and generally its a bit knackered (someone SANDED THE FRETS DOWN!!!)
Anywho, a pic is attahed, i have more if you need them. Can anyone identify? Or tell me where i can trace the serial number?
Many thanksthings I do:
Whisper in the Riot

www.rugbyrocks.co.uk - Looks nice. I would refret it and just play it to death.'I don't want to be immortalized through my work. I want to be immortalized by not dying.' Woody Allen
Comment
- Looks like it might be an L75.
More than that I can't tell. Only that some mint examples are to be rarely found. some are the nicest looking LP's I've ever seen.Originally Posted by Expressway to yr Skull
Some things just can't be apologized enough for. James Blunt is one of them. - Its pretty hard to find info on these guitars. I have one (see attached pic). Great guitars especially since they are cheap.
Mine has no serial no on the headstock but has a serial no on the control cavity plastic cover. Mine is the L59 model (which I assume is supposed to be based on a 59 Les Paul).
I've also played a Hohner L90 which is a Les Paul Gold Top copy with p90s. This guitar was awesome too.
Does yours have any writing on the truss rod cover? That is where mine has L59 written on it.
So sorry I can't help with any more info than this. I've looked and come up empty, no one seems to know much about these. I'm pretty sure they were only made for a brief time in the eighties.
My advice is to refret it. Great guitars.My dad says I've got more guitars than girlfriends
Better dead than smeg! - Nice guitar Pengrin! Do you play it much?
The L90 really catches my eye. I'd love to have one of those.
From what I've gathered the professional series were first made in Great Britain then production moved to Korea. I don't know anything about looking up serial numbers or anything. - WOAAAH! That IS a nice guitar :-)
Yeah , i reckon its gonna ge re-fretted, rebound, and may well have the inlays done, as it seems whoever had it before has replaced what was in there for PLASTIC. Not very well done either.
It has a serial no on the back of the headstock (see attached pic), The truss rod cover is not there so no info on that. I may well have to buy this off the owner once its fixed - I don't reckon i'll ever afford a gibson - this may well be adequate, it sounds lovely :-)
Penguin - how does yours compare to the real thing?things I do:
Whisper in the Riot
www.BrutallicA.co.uk
www.rugbyrocks.co.uk - It would probably cost as much or more than the guitar is worth to have the binding replaced. Refretting won't be cheap either but may be worth it. The inlay work could be costly as well.
- things I do:
Whisper in the Riot
www.BrutallicA.co.uk
www.rugbyrocks.co.uk - Thanks for the compliments on my guitar. It was the second electric I ever bought. At the time I bought it as I wanted an LP but couldn't afford a Gibson. OVer time I have come to realise how good a guitar it is.
Compared to a Gibson I actually prefer mine. Not because of quality (I think Gibsons have slightly better quality) but because of the differences between a true LP and mine. Firstly the body is slightly thinner than a Gibby, not by much but it feels more comfortable to me. Mine has binding front and back on the body which I think looks great. Also the archtop on mine is not a solid top. It is flame maple but there is a hollow between the maple cap and the mahogony body. I like to think this helps with resonance and blah, blah, blah. I have no proof of this, just something I like to think.
It weighs a ton too, its far heavier than any guitar I have ever played. This seems to always put the neck in the perfect playing position when strapped on.
In short, its probably the best guitar I've ever played. I added the Bigsby since I really wanted a Bigsby at one stage. I think LPs with Bigsby's look fantastic. It also now has Kent Armstrong humbucker sized P90 pickups. These sound awesome.
When I bought it, it had zebra humbuckers. THe sales guy told me they were Duncans, which at the time I believed but later realised he was full of ****************. They weren't the best sounding pickups. I tried many pickups in this guitar but liked the P90s in it best. Best balance of good sounding clean and dirty sounds.
If you ever find one, buy it. I tried to buy an L90 of a guy I knew, bastard knew what I knew about them (that they are great) so he wouldn't sell it.My dad says I've got more guitars than girlfriends
Better dead than smeg! - excellent, then i'll definately make sure i casn get a hold of this one once its done :-)
Out of interest, are bigsby's difficult/expensive to fit?things I do:

This was common practice for a long time (could still be) on budget LP copies as it meant that a flat ply-piece could be used for the top and bent, not requiring carving out like a solid cap does.
I think now most do have a solid cap carved from alder or similar with a maple veneer a la Epiphone instead (presumably advancements in CNCD have made this viable at the budget price point).MOTGLHC

Bigsby's aren't too hard or expensive to fit. The biggest cost with mine was buying the Bigsby. You can leave the holes where the tailpiece fits but I had my luthier fill them. Its fairly simple to fit one if you don't care about the holes from the old tailpiece. Simply fit it and screw it on. Its really quite straight forward. Depending on where the tailpiece sits on the guitar, you might have to remove the tailpiece bushes if they interfere with where the Bigsby sits.My dad says I've got more guitars than girlfriends
Better dead than smeg!- Nice, cheerz.
I've never used a bigsby - how much play do they give you? And wht is the tuning stabiity like?
Also, i am looking forward to playing some FILTH on thsi bad boy. Whiskey in the Jar is gonna be Oh So SWEETthings I do:

Pengrin it looks like its the original plastic nut, mine worned out after one year.
it's my first guitar, I bought it 11 years ago and it's still my main axe.it really needs a fret job
I'm too lazy to take new pics; I replaced the EMG with the original HB and I also put the pickguard back.
I'm addicted to its thin D-shape neck
