Hohner Review: Countryman

History:

Purchase: This unit was bought at my local music shop... I actually had a connection at the shop and got it at cost (I am not at liberty to mention the price), but let me say that it was worth every penny.

What I Like About This Hohner Countryman: This guitar is a well buit guitar that produces a quality sound and tone, when compared to the higher end guitars that are out there...I own two honer countryman guitars (the sunburst and transparent black) along with a high-end custom shop Fender Acoustic Electric. I find that I enjoy playing the Honers just as much as my fender. The quality of the sound are so similar... the Fender is slightly deeper in tone and slightly crisper. But for beginners and intermediate players these guitars are worth the bucks.

What I Do NOT Like About The Hohner Countryman: This Honer guitar is a great guitar pack with quality (not top of the line) features such as enclosed tuning machines. I think that the neck is comfortable to play and easy on the hands. The color selection for the price range is unmatched by any company including Fender and Squire (by Fender). The colors are cool, the transparent black is sweet!

Hohner Countryman Quality Rating: The guitar is not a solid top; however, that did not stop me from buying two of them. This is a great guitar to have around the house, office or studio to jam around with when you want to play. I think that the overall quality of this guitar is top dog for the price range... if you can't afford the Taylor's (that's most of us) you should buy this one.

Review Summary: Here's the deal... you can't get a better guitar for your money! I would like to see any manufacture place this kind of guitar in this price range with the options such as color. I don't care that it's not a solid top guitar, it sounds great and looks great too! So... heres the challenge to Fender, Deane, Ibanez, offer a great guitar with the features of the Honer in this price range! I guarentee your not going to get it!
