Description

What makes the Hahn Model 112 special

The Model 112 is the first original body design from Hahn Guitars , developed over two years (in collaboration with Walter Becker) with the goal of creating a “new classic” capable of covering many genres.
It combines familiar ergonomic traits (bolt-on maple neck, alder body, double-cutaway form, S-style bevels) that feel comfortable to players used to classic guitars, but with a very different tonal character thanks to custom pickups and hardware.
The pickup configuration (custom P-90s, and in some builds even a middle “gold-foil” single-coil) gives it a broad tonal palette: bright, clean and chime-like but also capable of growl, dynamics and rich midrange ,somewhere between a Strat, a Tele and a P-90-equipped slab body.
Build quality and finish: handcrafted in small batches, with careful wood selection (alder body, maple neck) and a thin nitro-cellulose lacquer finish to maximize resonance and give a classy, boutique-guitar feel.
Versatility: described by reviewers as a “workhorse” guitar , suitable for clean, jazzy tones, rock, blues, even more aggressive overdriven sounds , making it a great “do-it-all” instrument rather than a one-style niche guitar.
In short: the Model 112 stands out because it merges familiar playability and ergonomics with a unique voice , giving you vintage-leaning P-90 grit, single-coil clarity, and modern build quality all in one instrument.

Specs:

• Body: Alder, double-cutaway solid body.
• Neck: Maple bolt-on neck, .85–.87" deep “C” contour.
• Fingerboard: Rosewood (or maple depending on version), medium-jumbo frets.
• Scale length: 25.5" (standard scale)
• Bridge: Custom “H” bridge (cold-rolled steel) , optionally top-load or through-body stringing; compensated brass saddles.
• Tuners: Gotoh / Kluson-style tuners.
• Pickups: Typically custom P-90s (neck + bridge), sometimes with middle “gold-foil” single-coil option , 5-way switching possible.
• Controls: One volume, one tone; 3- or 5-way selector depending on pickup configuration.
• Finish: Thin nitrocellulose lacquer (≈ 25 coats) , enhances resonance and feels high-end.
• Weight: Typically between ~6 ¾ and ~7 ½ lbs (≈ 3.1–3.4 kg) depending on build.

Hahn Guitars 112 Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Hahn Guitars' Model 112 is a masterful mashup of Fender inspirations, cleverly combining Telecaster and Stratocaster elements with P-90s and a gold-foil pickup. This curious blend might seem like a six-string platypus with identity issues, but the result is a sublime instrument with unique, captivating tones. The neck and body offer comfort familiar to Fender fans, while the unconventional pickups deliver rich, dynamic sounds that stray far from typical Fender tones. The guitar's build quality is impeccable, with aesthetics that exude understated elegance. While the $1,895 price tag is formidable, it reflects the craftsmanship and distinctive voice this guitar offers. A must-try for those seeking a fresh twist on classic sounds.
