ESSENTIAL PRO SERIES GUITARS
The Hohner Essential Series of guitars impresses by simplicity and elegance of its carefully chosen design. After its successful start in 2008 with the Parlor and Folk size models, Hohner extends the Essential line with three significant models: A nylon-string classical, a dreadnought steel-string, and a mini jumbo with a cutaway and Fishman ION pickup for the stage musician. All Essential Series guitar models feature a solid sitka spruce top with a classy matte finish, mahogany backs and sides and a nato neck with rosewood fingerboard. The Hohner Essential Series with their appealing looks, good sound characteristics and an excellent price/performance ratio offers the right instrument for a broad spectrum of musical genres.

Compensating system as featured on Hohner Essential Pro Series Guitars
When a guitar refuses to play in tune, fret spacing is the first thing that needs to be checked. Assuming that the fret spacing is correct, the second important variable affecting intonation is the distortion (stretching) of the string from the open position to the fretted position resting on the fingerboard and on the crown of the fret, which occurs when a note is played. This stretching increases the tension on the string, and therefore causes the note to play sharp.
Each string behaves differently with regard to sharpening tendency when fretted. There are three related rules which apply here:
1) sharpening from fretting is inversely proportional to pitch (The Pitch Rule).
2) Pitch is proportional to string tension (The Tension Rule); and
3) String tension is proportional to string mass (The String Mass Rule).
The pitch rule tells us that a guitar will display a global tendency to more sharpness as the open string pitch goes down, and the low E string does in fact go sharp more than the high E string. However, the tension rule and the string mass rule also come into play, and we see this especially when we compare the sharpening behavior of the G and D strings. If we were to apply the pitch rule only to G and D, we would expect more sharpening for D then from G. But D in fact sharpens less than G. This is because of the metal winding on D which adds mass. Even though D is lower in pitch than G, it has a higher tension than G and therefore sharpens less. If you want to test this, you can tune your unwound G-string down to D, the string will now sharpen more when fretted at the nut than when it was tuned to G.
We can rectify the tendency to sharpness from fretting by adjusting the total length of the string from nut to bridge, but how much adjustment do we make?
To answer these questions, we need to first examine in more detail what happens when a note is fretted. The first component of stretching occurs when the string travels from the unfretted position down to the crown of the fret ("travel stretch"). However, when a guitarist frets a note, the finger isn't pressed directly down on the fret itself, instead, the finger is pressed down behind the fret, and more pressure is applied to make sure a firm string-to-fret contact is established in order to avoid buzzing. This causes additional stretching ("fretting stretch"). Both of these string stretch components must be addressed at the appropriate end of the string for best intonation results.
The correct place to compensate for travel stretch is at the saddle. By setting the saddle itself back and/or by moving the string break-off point back, thereby adding to string length. The reason for this has to do with the relationship between the amount of stretch and the ratio of compression to active string length. As we fret the string on succeeding higher frets, the total string length when fretted, and thus the string tension, increases because of the slope of the fingerboard with reference to the open string. Why then, doesn't each succeeding note get sharper? Because at the same time, the ratio of the compensation at the saddle to the active string length is increasing proportionally.
The correct place to compensate for fretting stretch is at the nut, by setting the string break-off point forward, which reduces the distance to the fret and thereby takes away sharpness caused by stretching. The reason for this has to do with the relationship between the ratio of fretting stretch and the ratio of the nut compensation to inactive string length. As the notes are fretted higher on the fingerboard, the ratio of fretting stretch decreases because of the fingerboard slope. At the same time, however, the ratio of nut compensation to inactive string length is decreasing proportionally.
Compensation at the nut is correct when any note on the fingerboard fretted normally (as when playing the guitar) plays in tune. Adding complementary compensation at the nut, distributes the intonation improvement over the entire fingerboard.
The compensaing system will enable a guitar to sound any note in tune anywhere on the fingerboard; assuming the open strings are properly tuned. The guitar will now function accurately as an equal-tempered instrument. For the guitar to function as a well-tempered instrument, however, requires the player's skills in proper tuning and fingering of the instrument.
