Folk
The Hohner Essential Series offers the right instrument
for a broad spectrum of musical genres with its pleasing
and attractive looks, its good sound characteristics and an
excellent price/performance ratio. These guitars impress with
their simplicity and the elegance of their carefully chosen
design. All Essential Series guitar models are provided with
a top from solid sitka spruce with a classy satin finish, a
mahogany back and sides and a nato neck with rosewood
fingerboard. The combination of spruce and mahogany
results in rich, bright and “woody” tones and is well suited for
accompanying vocalists.!
HW40P (Essential Parlor): This model comes with a body
shape originally designed in the late 1800s. At 40”, the
instrument is a bit shorter than a dreadnought. The body is
similar, yet smaller than a grand auditorium and provides for a
more even frequency response. The Parlor Guitar is physically
smaller, but the sound is not! It is particularly well suited for
rooms and environments that should not be overwhelmed
with bass. These instruments are predominantly played by
guitarists in different blues and folk styles who need a guitar
that cuts through on all the strings. The neck width is slightly
wider than the dreadnought and is therefore a first choice for
fingerstyle players. The smaller body size is very comfortable
for smaller players. Grover tuners and factory strings by
D’Addario.
HW40F (Essential Folk): Like the Essential Parlor, the Folk
size model is 40” tall, with a body shape similar, but smaller
than a regular dreadnought. This medium sized guitar body,
which is sometimes referred to as “Orchestra” shape, provides a less boomy bass and brings out the mid range tones,
which is why fingerstyle guitarists typically prefer this body
shape. Grover tuners and factory strings by D’Addario.

EL-SMJ-CE (Essential Mini-Jumbo Acoustic/Electric
Cutaway): The Essential Mini Jumbo was designed
with the stage artist in mind. A shallower, smaller body
reduces guitar feedback when playing through a PA,
while the cutaway gives free access to the higher fret
positions. The Fishman ION preamp system includes
an equalizer and a self-muting tuner. Grover tuners and
factory strings by D’Addario.
EL-SC (Essential Classic): This model is a full size 39”
classical guitar that has been designed with the same
characteristics of wood selection and finish as the other
guitars of the line. The designers applied a very subtle
rosette. The combination of sitka spruce and mahogany
back and sides provides for crisp, strong, well equilibra-
ted sound. This guitar just sounded superb and played
well with Aquila strings, which is why these were cho-
sen as the factory strings for the Essential Classic.
EL-SD (Essential Dreadnought) – No guitar line is
complete without a traditional dreadnought model, the
mothership of steel string guitars. Players go for the
large dreadnought body when they look for strong vo-
lume and very pronounced bass. The Essential Dread-
nought comes with the same “no frills” understatement
as the rest of the series and is also factory strung with
a D’Addario set.
