Help with The Prinz Serial number

Hi

I need help please. I have to get a price for this guitar :tired_face: the serial number is 0101045. I have been made an offer by a shop and I know its too low. So was thinking of listing it for sale on an auction site :thinking: Any help appreciated with a date etc.

According to Hohner Service, your guitar was built in 1990, probably in Indonesia or Korea. The German retail price in 1990 was DM 670, which comes to just under US$ 400 in today’s money. Here the available specs:

Body: Californian solid maple with flamed maple top and back; bolt on one-piece Canadian rock maple neck; 21 nickel silver frets; colour: natural; 2 HP single coil GS-1; 3-way switch; vol/tone; chrome hardware; graphite nut; standard ST-bridge; deluxe machine heads; USA-Wings strings

Hope that helps!

Thank you SteveBaker.

I was offered £250 for this one and a Gibson- which i thought was well below what it is worth. However, your helpfulness has given me food for thought.

You’re welcome. I’d say that’s a decent price, these were very competitively priced instruments back in the day. It’s amazing how well they’ve lasted, they’re still good value today.
