Hohner Essential Parlor Guitar

I am really excited about this guitar, the sound and build quality is great. In my opinion the guitar is "as advertised" Now for the not so great. The micro thin finish that they advertise means the top will be susceptible to dings and scratches, not good not bad, just know that. Second, good luck finding a case. This is not a true parlor size guitar, the body is smaller but the overall length of the guitar is 40"! That is the same length as my Dreadnought. The guitar fits tight (in terms of length) in my 000 sized case, it might fit better in a Dreadnought case but that would be huge. I'll have to do some looking.

i really wanted a parlor guitar, when it arrived in the mail it looked beautiful and simple, when i tuned it and try to play it that's where the nightmare began. out of the box horrible setup, a ton of buzz, i adjusted the truss rod and it somewhat killed the buzz then took it to some dude that does setups at a music store and he just adjusted the truss rod a little more and it sounds better but still has some buzzing frets and some kill the sound.

the guitar has good sound where it doesn't buzz i'm almost sure i have to take it to get the frets leveled. please do yourself a favor this is a piece of crap but underneath there is a quality guitar, do not order this model/series online at all, if you still want it make sure you get it from a dealer and try it before you buy it so you don't go through the nightmare i went.

good tuners everything seems good other than no setup and possibly bad frets (which is not worth it)

I'm so sorry for the second guy to leave a review. I got the guitar in a pretty big package and a case sized box inside. The guitar was perfect right out of the box. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and plays amazing. I don't know how I did it, but I got the guitar for $156. It's really worth every penny. Thank you Amazon!!
