This is the one – a 1987 Hohner Professional “The Prinz” with the Fender-style headstock! These are hard to find and are highly sought-after by Prince collectors as well as anybody searching out a particularly well-made and stylish telecaster-style guitar.
This is NOT the later “TE” model. It is a very early example from the original Hohner run (serial #87123xx).
The guitar is 100% original/stock, with the possible exception of the volume/tone knobs. The top and back is highly-flamed maple and the center strip is either mahogany or walnut – I’ve seen it described both ways. The neck is Canadian hard rock maple.
The condition is excellent. There is the occasional very mild ding or impression here and there from normal play wear and there are obvious scratches on the pickguard that defy photography, but they are hard to see except in the right light and do little to mar the overall visual impact of the instrument (which is stunning!). Please also note that some areas around the edge of the guitar which might look like chips and such are, in fact, the speckled variations in the very handsome tortoise binding.
The back of the neck is blemish-free and there is virtually no fret wear. The pickups sound great! All electronics function as intended, as does the truss rod and the micro-tilt adjustment.
The guitar comes with a non-original tweed hard case in excellent condition.Contact me to discuss international shipping.
