Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I have never tried a Hohner Eclipse. They used to turn-up on my evilBay Ovation searches until somebody might have mentioned copyright infringement.
I would really like to try one, cuz the backs look Great!
Unfortunately, the top looks confused and fugly!
Even if you buy the hype about the "Cross-Woven Spherical Alder for its back." It is still Plywood.
I would like to try a used one for $150... But I doubt that I could re-sell it.
You gotta give them credit, they even ripped-off the Five Piece Neck.
"Strings and Things" in Salisbury, MD has been trying to unload these things on evilBay for a long time, but I haven't got $330 to experiment.
But! When I went to the Hohner website they don't have anything about the Eclipse.
Leads me to believe that Hohner has not manufactured them for a long time, and the ones that I see are just old-stock that they are still selling. |
