Georg Hirsch violin guitar

hohner??? rhoads copy

Made by Georg Hirch, a luthier from Senftenberg,

this luthier mainly made mandolins.

Other stuff like this guitar only by custom order, so most likely this is a one off special made for one person and very rare. The neck is slightly bend because there is no trussrod in it.but it’s still playable.

The quality of the used materials si good a solid top and back and most likely also solid sides.

Because there were quite a lot typical musima parts on it, tremelo, pu’s, i thought for some years it was a meinel und herold (musima/migma).

A rhoads copy possible made by hohner, i suspect hohner because of the similarities in pickup design looking at my hohner flying V. Because this guitar has a special paint, wich was in fasion in the 80’s om this model guitars, there is no brandname vissible on the guitar anymore. It’s a real cheapo with a enormous neckjoint, a plywood body and, o joy, a floating tremelo always a thing that doesn’t raises the party mood for me. This made it quite a task to get the guitar well intonated even tuning it is a ordeal with this kind of bridges. but the guitar was cheap what makes up for it, there by i always like this kind of guitars. After setting it up good it play’s unsuspected good, to be honest real smooth has a nice neck and even it’s sound is not that bad with a lot of distortion it even sounds sweet, for metal that is.
