{"product_id":"hohner-essential-roots-er-sosb","title":"Hohner Essential Roots ER-S0SB (2013)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hohner Essential Roots ER1-S0SB is a compact 12-fret parlor guitar in the 0-style, unmistakably inspired visually and conceptually by the early pre-war Gibson flattops – particularly the Gibson L-1, the instrument inextricably linked to blues icons like Robert Johnson. The compact body with a deep lower bout, the 12-fret neck joint, and the characteristic dark two-tone sunburst finish precisely emulate this vibe.\u003cbr\u003eSonically, the ER1-S0SB delivers what its name promises: roots and Delta blues. Mid-range, percussive, dry, with the slightly compressed \"grit\" in the sound that one seeks for authentic acoustic blues, bottleneck\/slide playing, and ragtime picking. Technical highlight: the factory-installed NVI system (Non-Variance Intonation) with compensated nut and saddle for clean intonation – not a given in this price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials and Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop – solid Sitka spruce:\u003c\/strong\u003e A real plus in this price range – solid tops sound more open and develop more over time than plywood tops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides – mahogany (laminated):\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte, ultra-thin satin finish (Micro Thin Finish) for maximum wood resonance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNVI System (Non-Variance Intonation):\u003c\/strong\u003e compensated nut and saddle for clean intonation across the entire fretboard – factory installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e0-body, 12-fret, short scale length 616 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e narrow, waisted parlor body shape with neck joint at the 12th fret – close to the pear-shaped original form of the Gibson L-1 from 1926.
