Hi.
I’ve gotten a new to me Hohner G3T
It doesn’t have a serial number anywhere I can find. I can’t find a “made in” label
All three pickups are labelled Hohner.
It has 3 two position switches for the pickups, and the lower knob is push pull.
the leg rest and trem both say under licence from Steinberger.
it has a sticker on the top reminding you to tune with the trem locked, then unlock and tune one last time with the big knob.
The serial number on G3Ts is usually located under the leg rest, but sometimes it isn’t. We’ve had a number of posts where the owners have been unable to find a serial number.
Hohner Service says the 3GT was first built from 1988 - 1994, then reissued for about another 10 years from 2003 onwards. Here the available specs:
body: Californian solid maple through neck: Californian maple with Indian rosewood fingerboard; 24 nickel silver frets; colour: black; 3 Select designed by EMG; 2 single coil size, 1 humbucker size; vol/tone; 3 mini switches: on/off; push/pull for Vintage-Blend-Sound; black hardware, Steinberger; fine-tuning-bridge; tremolo with trem-lock
I hope this helps
Steve

Thank you so much, Steve! The guitar is totally awesome! By the way, I recently came across an article in “In Tune” magazine (May 1986) about the Hohner G2T, which is very interesting! Is it possible to find out what the info is on the sticker under the bridge pickup? Just curious, that’s all! 
The Service Dept. says that the bar code and the numbers below don’t convey any information about the actual instrument. Here’s a fact sheet, maybe this is of interest:

Steve, I really appreciate it 
I don’t know who else could have told me what year that instrument was made! And, of course, thanks for the poster!
Hello Steve,
My G3T has the following serial number:
CO05H10109
It’s a reissue, any idea about year and/or location of production?
The switch for the bridge PU is 3-way (H/S/off) and supposedly original (no mod). Hence, no push/pull pot.
Thanks!
I’ve asked the Service Dept. to check it out and will get back to you. I wasn’t aware that any of these guitars were reissues as such. To the best of my knowledge, Hohner manufactured the G3T under license from Steinberger, but it seems unlikely that they would then later reissue it,
cheers
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply! By ‘reissue’, I meant to say that it is from the production in the 2000s/2010s 
, so not in the 80s/90s
The Service Dept. says your guitar was built in 2005 in Indonesia, so you’re right about the time period. You can find the specs above in this thread.
Ah, thanks a lot Steve, this is really helpful. The seller told me he had bought it (new), around 2014, and I believe him. However, remarkable than that the guitar was made 9 years earlier. Anyway, I’m happy to have it, paid a good price for it (225 euro), it’s in great condition and I use it now alongside my black Spirit.
One thing: the presence of the original 3-way bridge PU switch (previous owner did no mods) provides an answer to the 3-way switch question brought up earlier in this thread (see post 35)!
Best regards from Holland,
Geert
Sounds like you got a good deal. They’re great guitars, plenty from the 1980s are still going strong. Hope you enjoy playing it!
Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve! Yeah, I enjoy playing it a lot, these are great and comfortable guitars!
