I got hold of a guitar with an EVH type paint job, single hum, and a Kahler (knockoff i'm assuming?) the headstock says: Honher professional ST stripes, the body is white with black stripes but no pickguard...maple board...any heard of one of these?

Re: Honher?
no I don't have a digital camera....
but I can add that I think it's a late 80's early 90's model.... -
Re: Honher?
Those ST Stripes came from an ST line that had models such as the Custom, Lynx, Metal, Stripes etc. They were made first in 1990, and each model went out of production during 1991 to 1994. They were all made in Korea. Retail prices varied depending on the model. The Stripes I think was part of the ST Metal Series, which had a retail price of $630 when it was taken out of production in 1991, so its most likely a 1990 or a 1991............Comment

Re: Honher?
Most likely its not a real Kahler. Unless it says Kahler on the trem, it aint one. The ones from the ST Series that I did see had some bastardized copy of the Kahler. You should keep it if you like it.......Comment

Re: Honher?
My cousin has a Honer he bought in late 1989. It was pretty expensive. It had this Steinberger trem that you could flip a lever and it would down tune or something. It didn't work very well and always went out of tune. The body is a Strat shaper and made of what looks like mahogony after he chipped it a few times. Very heavy. It had one slanted EMG Select HB, 1 volume and 1 tone. It had a maple neck, 22 frets which were jumbo, reverse Jackson pointy headstock and a rosewood board. All the hardware was black. The paint job was the crackle finish, black and red. It was an okay guitar. He still has it.Comment
