Hohner Essential Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar
The Hohner Essential Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar combines traditional looks with updated modern features to meet the demands of today’s players. Based on the traditional parlor guitar body shape, Hohner has added a cutaway on the lower bout so that the upper register notes can be more easily accessed. This style of guitar was extremely popular during the folk music era of decades past. The solid Sitka Spruce top on the Hohner Essential Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar provides depth and amazing harmonic richness. You will be surprised by the responsiveness and projection from this diminutive guitar. A mahogany back and sides provide warmth in the overall tone.
Hohner has employed a building technique on this guitar called Frequency Matching. This is a form of tap tuning, a technique that violin makers have used for centuries, to determine the resonant frequencies of the woods and then match the solid Sitka spruce tops with similarly resonant mahogany backs. Pickguards are eliminated to reduce unwanted vibrations on the soundboard. This process is combined with a micro thin finish which allows the wood to “breathe”; producing a powerful, rich singing tone.
The Hohner Essential Parlor Acoustic Electric Guitar also features the easy to operate Fishman Isys+ Tuner/Preamp system. Located on the guitar's upper left side, the Fishman's separate gain, bass, and treble controls allow you shape your tone in mid-performance. Pressing a Phase switch boosts low end when playing at reduced volume and helps mitigate feedback at higher volume levels as well. Finally, the Essential Parlor features an onboard LED tuner with auto-mute for silent tuning onstage. Case not included.
