Model 22. Interestingly, few were what I’d
consider definitively vintage-Fender tones,
but this a truly multivoiced performer all
the same.
The Verdict
The Hahn Model 22 is an instrument
of the highest quality from top to bot-
tom. Its design elements produce a
modern-sounding instrument in an under-
stated, vintage-looking package. If you’re
looking for a trusty workhorse that can
thump out a fat foundation for blues, rock,
or roots music, there may be cheaper
alternatives. But if your musical endeav-
ors take you to where purity, sustain, and
definition are essentials, the Model 22 is a
potential match made in heaven.
