I recently bought what was described as a Hohner Les Paul Lawsuit guitar
from the 80’s, with a serial number of H 09176. Is anyone able to verify if that is true based on the these numbers? I bought it for $150 last weekend, and it’s been fully set up. Great sound and action, too.
Hohner Service can’t find a model with this serial number. They say that Hohner was marketing Les Paul style guitars from mid-1980s - mid-1990s. If it’s good then I’d say you got a bargain.
Thanks, Steve.
I did find another number on the back of the lock nut plate. HG 130V.
I have tried to remove the back plate to the electronics, but the final screw is stripped. May work on that this weekend. It is a really nice guitar with a remarkable sound. I hope to find a little about its history. Either way, it’s not going anywhere.

Sorry Rob, that number didn’t turn up anything either. Hope you enjoy playing the guitar!
The HG 130 was a bolt on neck Les Paul copy made for Hohner in the mid 1970s in Japan. I think V stands for Violin Sunburst. Is yours a dark brown sunburst?
Hello, I`m new to HOHNER having recently acquired an electric parts guitar. Will do rebuild with as many original bits as possible, would like to have info on its serial number 8718127. Any help would be much appreciated. Paul.
1987, Korean made. What is it?
