I found this one in town for $30 (U.S.):

It's an HW 200 model. A little bigger and heavier than I was looking for, but I couldn't put it down. When I was putting on the new D'Addario 10's I bought for it, I noticed this:

An adjustable bridge! On a bargain acoustic, no less! The high E string I was putting on broke as I was tuning it, though :cry: . But I had a spare B string from another set of 10's, so I threw it on, slowly cranked it up, dropped the bridge a little on that side, and this guitar sounds really good! It's got a good, strong voice. The action is sky-high, but that makes it good for slide :wink: . It has a solid, hefty feel to it, and with three boys in the house, that is essential. Definitely a keeper. Price, to me, is secondary to sound and feel. I'm playing the guitar, not so much the name. But you could probably tell that from my sig. line :wink:]]> Guitar Players Discussion indiana_jonesin https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-232216 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-231949 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:17:23 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion pearlthekat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-231949 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-231937 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 00:26:19 +0000
any guitar that you enjoy playing cannot be firewood :roll:]]> Guitar Players Discussion ballybiker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-231937 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-24366 Sat, 03 Mar 2007 23:41:04 +0000
I know its only a battered old orange box but Ive become surprisingly attached to it quickly! I was looking at a Yamaha or Tanglewood, something in the price range of about £150 new but I dont know..................maybe I should wait a little longer now I have this? or is it actually a piece of firewood?

Info if you can please!! thanks]]> Guitar Players Discussion Darth Ordinary https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cheapo-hohner-acoustic/#post-24366
