Hohner Professional L75

The look is perfect in deep black, it's a real panther, manufacturing is trssrieuse and irreproachable quality (of German origin mark) solid, fully dense mahogany, heavy weight, handle exceptional mcaniques srieuses (not drglent) in short a guitar to last and which ensures the professional.

USE

As I already said, the handle is a marvel, in terms of sound, I found that the bridge pickup (bridge) was a little soft (vintage) and too sensitive to feedback with an amp pushed I therefore changed with a Seymour Duncan SH-13 dimebag signature and is sure what is patator, the set provides serious is pure Pantera, it's his standard, large and sharp, a real chainsaw, a big panzer ... that's exactly what I dsirait ... of which srieux dfonce walls, a weapon of mass destruction.

SONORITS

The neck pickup is warm, soft, round and prcis; ideal for progressive jazz or blues, it is comparable to the PAF is to say very Gibsonian, good for feeling! I play on Line 6, but it's better with a good Marshall JCM 800, for example, although saturs its sound rather a lot about spiders ... one of the highlights of this guitar is its Sustain is almost endless, ideal for solos
I played on Gibson les paul studio and I think its better sustain (density of mahogany) and the handle of comfort standout, it is very close to the model custom Gibson.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have this guitar for 6 years, I love all of these qualities, I do not see any major default if not weight, ITS is HUGE with Duncans, I make guitar since the 80s, I assure you that this guitar is a value sre safely, provided that you change the bridge pickup (SH-13) and to put an SH-1 neck pickup, then this is the total, a veritable killer, the very high level of comparable guitars 5 times more expensive, the price-quality ratio is simply HUGE.

Features common to a copy of Les Paul:
2 humbuckers, a aigu/les2/manche selector, 1 volume and 1 tone micro
22 frets
Bolt-4 screws, accessible by setting the head
Bridge Type Tune-O-Matic

UTILIZATION

Rebelote: characteristics are common to copies of Gibson
I do not know what kind of wood it is made, but it weighs its weight.
Ergonomics is could not be more classic, a cutaway for access to acute, and it passes.
The electronics are reliable: never worry, very reasonable snoring sounds and typed.
I changed the jack, which really loosened too often, and whose contacts were a bit dodgy, but that's all.

SOUNDS

Played on a Hughes & Kettner hybrid (preamp tube amp transistor), I found some sounds for my taste:
* Clean channel in bridge pickup with a chorus and reverb, great for arpeggios
* Clean channel for funky rhythm with two microphones, a compression
* Clean with the neck pickup for rhythm or phrases
* Crunch the same microphone for blues revivals
* Acute microphone lead for good solos
I have less hooked on the other sounds (microphone + serious distortion for example), but I think it's all related to the guitar amp and the taste of the performer).
I was not too successful to hang jazz sounds playing on the pitch, he needs acute if not I think it does not sound too.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first electric guitar, cheap.
I kept it because of the look, because it is well agreed that it is always ready to throw an idea on a magneto in passing, with electronics that do not snore.
There are small pieces of hardware that would give way after 20 years: Also the jack, I lose occasionally handle inlays of mother of pearl, and I also changed the selector button (not the selector right the plastic part that is activated), the screws plastic frames around the microphones rust, as well as the pickgard, but I do not do sleep outside in the rain, and the white stripe around the body, neck and head, is now cream / yellow, with some cracks.
But it's lived, not the relic ...

Yes I would do this choice, it is not necessarily a versatile guitar, but it stands on a lot of styles. I keep it, and I even still playing.
I put notes 8/10 because in this price range, this is fine. After that, it is not to be compared with a successful original (with real microphones, neat and upscale fittings violin).

This is a guitar that I did not keep long and therefore sold 89 model, based on the metal plate on the back, probably Korean, a good copy of the paul, rather pretty and very correct violin.

UTILIZATION

the handle is flat and thin, very fast, adjustment for tilt. Nice low action.

SOUNDS

I did not really like the sound, matter of taste, a guitar seems oriented me metal, its quite clear and moderate chrunch in pretty good distortion.
Now I have not owned long enough to know what it is equipped with microwave it there seems to me at least two versions with different microphones so.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a guitar that I bought and sold at 150 euros (in 2012), she is subject to play a fairly muscular rock.

japan hardware description already specified, except with two microphones gibson 498 and 498T!!

UTILIZATION

good

SOUNDS

support on the amp modeling lamp must not make the same heat

OVERALL OPINION

purchased through leboncoin, released purchased at the opening of the mag converter cash tonight! first impression "new" very good violin and yet I have three Gibson referring one cs for its not so transcendent cause could well do better and after an hour of DIY a killing with both 498 (flipped for the bridge) I spend time on setting tailpiece neck etc. to make it more playable than
unexpected result sound! not in the hard trip but the punchy blues rock 80s it goes with all harmonics to kill me who wanted a guitar not to fear the shots and make me shoot I will review my position! since this is my guitar Staples 3.6 kg weighing 200g or less than the lightest of my gib back says bravo!
so if there in another lying around on the net go for me it was € 169 plus € 100 microphones are 40 € for condos knobs and roll
