Product Description

Hohner welcomes you to the world of playing guitar. The Hohner HC03 is a handcrafted classical guitar with a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. This wood match-up creates a crisp texture to the overall sound of the instrument, and the light satin finish will allow the instrument to vibrate and project better than an instrument with high gloss. A truss rod built into the neck of the guitar will help keep the instrument in playable condition for years to come. The smaller scale of this instrument (considered ¾ sized) is specially designed with the younger player in mind and is highly recommended for the players that are starting between the ages of 8-12. This instrument also comes equipped with light gauge nylon strings for easier fingering as to not discourage the first time player. Hohner has a long tradition of supporting music education. While being in business for over 150 years Hohner has enjoyed creating instruments to help people of all ages express themselves through music. Most recently Hohner has joined forces with GAMA, an organization dedicated to bringing the joy of playing guitar into school systems nationwide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just Right; But This HC-03 DLX is the Same Guitar as the HC-03, October 22, 2009

We bought this on a Daily Lightning deal at, what we consider, a fair price. With only an hour to decide whether or not to purchase, we immediately searched and studied whatever the internet had to offer on the Hohner HC-03DLX only to find out that no such guitar existss. According to the Hohner website (and anything else we could find on the web), only the HC-03 exists. Why AMAZON added the suffix DLX still has not been clarified to us. When we received the guitar, there was a label inside the opening that states both the serial number and the model number. Of course, the model # was HC-03. AMAZON provided us with excellent customer service on this matter and our many inquiries and assured us they'd be looking into the matter. We were concerned b/c there is quite a difference in price on AMAZON between the HC-03 and the HC-03DLX which is, in fact, just the HC-03. Again, we'd like to emphasize that the AMAZON reps were cooperative and receptive to what we were trying to point out. It is our hope that this model # confusion will be resolved and that since they are the same guitar, they will be priced accordingly. Anyway, our 9 year old son is loving it. It fits him beautifully; he even hugs it-- the satin finish is more masculine than a high-gloss finish, and we are confident he will get a couple years of use with this size. Info from the Hohner website and reviews from other sites gave us the boost of confidence we needed to go ahead and purchase at a very fair price.

Got it in the lightening deal for my 9 years old son. Both he and I like it. The guitar was not tuned when we receive it, but it's pretty easy for us to tune it since we have an electronic tuner. It sounded pretty good after I tuned it. If you are a beginner like me, you might want to get a book to learn how to tune it. The upper (thinner) three strings are nylon, the bottom (thicker) three are metal. I am very happy with the price, this would be a good starter for the next 2 or 3 years.

I purchased this Guitar for my daughter. I consider it a good value for the $70 I spent. It sounds OK with the strings it came with; however, I would plan on replacing them with a better set. It is easy to tune and play. Perfect for a first guitar!
