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.
Black Prince
The Artist Elite
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.
André Waldenmeier and Peter Maffay show the
Hohner Black Prince signed by the Peter Maffay band
and donated for a charity auction to the benefit of the
Peter Maffay foundation for traumatized children.
