Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another brand new episode of Price Rangers!
I'm Ranger Michi. I'm Ranger Paul. And both of us don't fear cheap gear.
In this week's episode we are testing this Hohner HG 490.
Well, no. But at first glance you could really think it is one because it looks just like the guitar Prince played for while.
Perhaps Harley Benton was in a heavy princy mood when they built the TE-80 NT Deluxe Series as a nearly exact copy of the Hohner original.
For 189,- EUR (163 GBP, 206 USD) you get an ash body with walnut stripes,
a laminated and lightly flamed maple top,
the neck is made of Canadian maple and the fretboard also comes in maple.
So you'll get kind of a whole sawmill here!
And this sawmill is quite heavy - we know it because we weighed it: 4,3 kg!
That's really heavy metal for The Little Prince!
So what's up with the electrics?
As it's common for Telecaster-style guitars: two singlecoils at the neck and the bridge, a 3-way switch, one volume and one tone control.
No "ashtray" but a six-saddle bridge
and Wilkinson pickups.
Ranger Michi now shows you their sound.
Sounds a bit out of tone?! Well, we've got to blame that on the intonation which hasn't been set up correctly.
Didn't sound like The Little Prince for me up to now...
Prince didn't just play rhythm guitar - what about some leadlines?
Sounds quite right for me, but what about metal?
Suits meee!
But it's hard for me to adapt to the funky fancy lool. That's not evil enough!
So let's sum up and make the point! What did we like and what failed to please us?
I just start with the weaknesses of this guitar: It's heavy, really heavy.
We're sitting here on our sofa, everything nice and comfy but sitting and standing with this one? Some slipping discs anyone?
The frets have not been polished so you can hear the rusty factory strings scratching over them.
The pickup sounds are Telecaster-like. But for my personal taste the bridge pickup voice is too piercing.
I'd like to add that I find the neck far too chunky and
think that this could be a problem for younger players with small hands.
The string action is too high. Even for me. That I would live to hear him saying that!
Who would have wasted a thought!
Here and there we find some flaws of craftmanship - e.g. in the black painted binding.
The edge of the fretboard has a little dent here.
But that's just it. I'll stop complaining.
On the credit side we have the tuners and their reliability.
The bridge construction allows us to set the intonation of each string separately.
A big bonus for all fans of Prince is the look of the guitar.
So what comes with this Harley Benton?
We're getting free picks, a cable, some tools to adjust the neck tension, the intonation and the string action... and a sticker.
The all-decisive question at the end of all our clip: Tonne oder Goldständer (trash or thrash, rubbish or rock, candy or crap)?
I like Prince. For this reason in every case: Goldständer.
I never was a big fan of Prince. And I don't like the looks of that guitar - but you can work with it. So for me it's also a Goldständer!
