I have a hobby of picking up guitars, giving them a set up (best way to learn/teach myself), give them a thorough cleaning and restring them and then sell them for a modest profit and then do it all over again. This one wasn't supposed to be any different.....
I recently picked up a Hohner HG12 twelve string acoustic guitar. It is in very good shape. Very clean with only a few tiny marks on the back and one very small mark on the headstock. The neck is a big ol' baseball bat but is still very playable (I've been playing a Les Paul with a 50's neck for over 20yrs now so I'm pretty used to big necks). The action is spot on and it actually sounds nice which I did not expect given what I paid for it!
I've always avoided 12 strings as they seemed like such a cliche, every guitar player seems to buy one sooner or later, kind of like how almost everyone buys a Strat eventually even if they don't really like Strats! Now I find myself re-learning "Hotel California" and wanting to learn "Wanted Dead or Alive" and I don't even like Bon Jovi! I'm enjoying playing it.
So, much to my Wife's annoyance, I think this one is going to stay a while. This means I'm going to have to get the lead out and fix up and flip a few I have stashed in the basement as I am dangerously close to "maximum occupancy"!
I don't know too much about Hohner guitars. If anyone has any knowledge about them I'd love to hear it! Its always nice to know as many details about my guitars as possible. I could be exactly wrong but I'm guessing it is from the mid to late 70's. It seems to have that 70's import vibe to it.
