Description: Very nice and quite rare Hohner HG 720 17” jumbo flat top, made in Japan c. 1980. All laminates, but particularly nice rosewood back and sides. Clearly East Indian, so this guitar is OK for international shipping under the CITES convention (endangered species). Very derivative of a Guild jumbo but sports a unique and stylish headstock. Hey, they were kind of mimicking Martin (45-Style) there. Rock solid, with spot-on neck joint, straight neck and flat fretboard, and just barely noticeable top rise behind the bridge that causes no issues whatsoever. Also cosmetically excellent, with just a few scratches and dings here and there. It has a little bit of the finish blushing that’s pretty common on Japanese acoustics from the era, mostly on the back and with a little bit on the front lower bouts too. Light fret wear with a few shallow dimples in the open chord positions, but no effect on playing. Nice rich tone. Now, I’m gonna guess it loses the tone battle with its solid-wood Guild counterpart every time (lol!), but it’s also A LOT less pricey! Comes in a nearly new TKL hardshell case that is obviously not original to this guitar. This case is also offered with the Estrada J200 copy I have listed, so whichever sells first gets the case while the other guitar gets a small discount... Not a lot of comps out there on this one, so I priced it in the range of other good quality Japanese-made laminated jumbos. NOTE: USA regulations under the CITES convention (trade in endangered species) have finally been loosened to allow easy international shipping of vintage instruments, unless they contain BRAZILIAN r******d (Dahlbergia nigra). Fortunately, there is clearly no Brazilian on this guitar (East Indian), so it can be shipped internationally.UPDATE: Ebay now demands that we sellers give THIRTY DAYS for returns. Any honest buyer will know within a few days whether there is any need for a return. I no longer take returns through Ebay, but I will never "stick" another musician with a guitar. Please contact me if there any problems, and we'll work it out.
