Hohner? Mosrite?

Well the vendor actually suggests [i]Hohner[/i] rather than [i]Hofner[/i], but I'll just confirm that it's definitely NOT a Hofner.

Mosrite? No chance. Don't know much about Hohners so I suppose it's a possibility.

What it really reminds me of is a Klira I used to have which was closely modelled on a Guild. But I can't imagine either Klira or Guild using that method of neck attachment.

Well I quite like it. It's in some ways quite contemporary-looking for an oldie. As far as Hohner or Mosrite are concerned, I get the impression he just thought of two random brands. I don't think Hohner have ever actually made guitars themselves anyway.

The Schaller tuners look original to this (can't see any other screwholes) which would suggest it's probably mid-70s at the earliest. Wonder if it's a one-off?

This one:



Fascinating stuff, never encountered Acoustic Black Widows before. Looks like the bass might originally have been a Hohner rebrand, but built by Bartell. Also very interesting to see that Matsumoku built a JapCrap Black Widow bass too - I'm guessing they never made it over to the U of K though.
