Hohner Designed by Staufer guitars are custom precision
instruments developed by Hohner in collaboration with
André Waldenmaier, the founder of Staufer Guitars in Ger-
many.
Hohner offers two models that are conceptually a re-issue
(with de luxe components) of an instrument designed by
Hohner in the late 70s, which became legendary through
its acceptance by international superstars.
The Artist Elite uses a swamp-ash body with a stunning
flame maple top and back and beautiful centre body stripe
made from American walnut. It comes with Gotoh hard-
ware, Schaller M6 mini tuning machine heads and security
locking strap-pins, a custom pickup set developed by Harry
Häussel and Staufer Guitars and the eye-catching tortoise-
shell pick-guard inherited from its famous ancestor.
The Black Prince comes in glossy black, with a unique
all wood body binding and features a VSVG Wilkin-
son tremolo system by Gotoh and a custom pickup
configuration consisting of two Staufer Blues single
coils and a Staufer hot humbucker. The Black Prince
is equipped with Schaller M6 locking tuner machine
heads and Schaller security locking strap-pins.
Both models are custom-designed and hand-assem-
bled in Europe. The pickups are made in Germany
renowned pickup designer Harry Häussel.
