Hobmer Horror

I saw hobmers too ... and this shopkeeper gave me that crap about hobner no more... some brothers .. they split and its now hobmer and what not ..
me quietly picked up givson ...

 

OK guys. Next time I log in, I'll try to Give you the number of the Hobner showroom. If in doubt,you can ask the source themselves.

 

I don't know if posting phone numbers is allowed. However, I have sent Hobner's phone number to some of you so that you can check it out yourselves.

 

As far as my knowledge goes, Hobner's chief engineer(who designs the guitars), has left Hobner and opened a far better manufacturing company called Signature. I have been to the Signature showroom in Kolkata. I have never heard of a Hobmer. Sounds like Kepmar. (Kepmar means thieves in Bengali)

 

New question
Givson or Gravson?!!
Heard the similar thing about giVson from a dealer
That it has changed name to graVson

Lets keep this thread going.....:rock: :rock:

 

Hehe, thanx dude.
Dunno how ppl can believe fake is real.

 

okay


hoFner is a respected guitar company.

HoBner is the original indian stuff

HobMer is a copy of hobNer :::

 

Yes... i have the same news too.
I went to a shop behind lal bazaar(kolkata) who deals with Hobner guitars.
They said the same and also that hobner guitars are also coming as Hob"mer" or "mart"...something like that...his pronunciation was such odd. :think:

 

I have never heard of that. I had been to the givson factory in Kolkata barely 2 months ago. These dealers will tell you anything. There are a few such impersonators in Kolkata. Grason, Givtone etc.( Grason is pathetic. They make only accoustics and poor ones at that)

 

You're welcome, man.

 

Ok I have confirmed with a dealer that HOBNER has indeed changed the name to HOBMER.....

 

Hobner, the company has split into two companies, the original Hobner, and the new Hobmer. as far as their instruments, i've played both, it seems the new Hobmer guitars are significantly better, both in contruction and tone.
they have even divided their showroom at shyambazaar, kolkata into two showrooms.

 

My cousin wanted to buy a guitar and I went along with him. Played some guitars, a really crap one whose name I cannot remember.. buzzed on every fret, and selected the Hobner. Or so I thought. I went home and a little while later my cousin calls me and says, "Why does this say Hobmer and not Hobner?

I didn't know what he was talking about. Met him later and indeed it was a Hobmer. Sounds good... so couldn't care less. If anyone's interested it cost Rs. 2550.

 

:shock:
You mean the logo changed after going home!! :shock:

 

No fool! :

I thought I was playing a Hobner. I didn't look too carefully. But as I said, played and sounded nice. So the name doesn't matter.

 

+1
If it sounds/plays/feels good, it IS good.

 

Hmm...Then it shud b ok,,......

 

ok i`m off to Kolkata next week on tour...will try to find out the mystery behind it (they are based in Kol, right?)
