No greater enhancement has been made for live blues performers than electronic amplification. Based on the SOO small body shape the Hohner Essential Roots EP1-SOOCE Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar combines classic body styles with Essential Series technology makes the Essential Roots ready for the modern player. The Essential Series represents a new area of innovation with Hohner guitars. Combining this process with a micro thin finish produced a powerful, rich singing tone that is reproduced brilliantly through the Fishman Isys+ Preamp with built in chromatic tuner.

These guitars are built utilizing a revolutionary technique Hohner calls Frequency Matching. Hohners technicians utilize a form of tap tuning to determine the resonant frequencies of the woods and then match the solid Sitka spruce tops with similarly resonant mahogany backs.

The Essential Roots are also NVI Equipped. This special nut and bridge assures that these guitars play with dramatically improved intonation, up and down the length of the neck making them a pleasure to play. All Hohner Essential guitars go through a 12 point inspection process at Hohners US facility to make sure every guitar is set up to sound and play great.
