Hohner ST59

I really wanted create a spcifique notice of the ATN produced honher ST 59 1987 1993 is much better in quality than the model 1995 1999 Product as collector of the brand, I possde the two models.

- Premire difference: the country of manufacture, Japan for the model 88 95 model for the Core.

- SECOND difference: wood.
Indeed, the model 88 is DETAILEDREPORT in one pice of alder same weight a Fender US while Coren model is extremely heavy (more than a les paul) as consisting of an assembly of two pice of maple.
The Japanese model possde much better sustain.

- Third difference: the handle.
Japan model possde a narrower handle and thinner than Corenne release.

- Fourth difference: the quality of the acoustillage, vibrato knives superbly holds the Agreement,

- Fifth difference: the design of the model Japan London, the microphones are much better quality of Kinman (australia for Version 88 and 89, of Armstrong thereafter.

One can easily diffrencier japan model because it posssde a white pickguard while the model coren possde a pearly white pickard. Japanese head is smaller and does not possde bevel.

USE

For use, the interface is Idale comparable good fender US, the handle is very fast and end (unless a Ibanez), the very intonation accuracy of all.
The big advantage of this guitar is that it never dsaccorde of even the strings do not have the disease fender: unwanted breaking of acute mi.

In short it is a very good quality guitar.

SONORITS

A dconseiller for beginners because of the difference between each sonnorit position selector is very marked over the ATN circuit requires some practice.

For his clear o slightly saturs, this is the best guitar I possde. The sound is typ Knofler, very delicate and crystalline, particulirement off-phase (position 2 and 4). The neck pickup is round and pchu and used only bridge pickup is very slamming almost identical one I get on my telecaster 66.

In short, this guitar is 100 times better than a Fender Mexico (too shrill) and a rather comparable Fender USA reissue 50's.

For the modern metal, is unsuited, but I do not care that I play the blues!

NOTICE GLOBAL

The Japan version of the ST 59 is virtually untraceable because few diffuse the Corenne version is not bad at all and is found easily. I possde a guitar score but ultimately I play with my old Honher 1988 which is widely quivalente guitar sold 1500 euros today. Besides Prince plays a Telecaster Honher ...

This is a great guitar but its very 50's direction and Blues is very typ therefore advise Knofler fan or Chuck Prophet. Brief guitarist confirmed.

Stratocaster standard type ...

UTILIZATION

Mache quite enjoyable I think, as we rglage actually.
I jou on other brands a chance, fender, squier, epiphone, ibanez, stagg, jim harley ...
I have not had time to play for hours on the fender, but my hohner did not seem uncomfortable APRS.
on the other hand, it's a real pleasure ct jim stagg and harley! (Fortunately)

SOUNDS

I've never had a chance since I play on a real good amp (vox DA5, VS15r marshall, Vox ToneLab st ... nothing too exciting!)
So I can put on trial INTERESTED sound I'd have to test it with a real good strat under the same conditions.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my electric guitar for 12 years dj!
And my c'tait Premire ...
I'm not specially electric guitar (you'll understand), but I'm pretty demanding of the same, and this guitar, at least in terms of comfort and stability suitable me parat .
