Hohner stopped using the HG prefix in the 1980's. HG just stood for "Hohner Guitar" and all of their guitars were HG-number in the 70's.

The price in the catalog was a suggested retail price in 1979. Back in the day you could always buy an instrument for 15-20% less than suggested retail.

Many Hohner instruments in the 70's were sourced from the Japanese company Moridaira. In the 1980's Hohner began to source from Cort. So my best guess is that your guitar was actually built by Moridaira. The Moridaira company was (is) a huge OEM manufacturer. Morris is the house brand for Moridaira guitars but they built guitars for many distributors back in the 70's.

I don't know anyone that specializes in Hohner history.

Do you know who I could contact to find out additional history?

There is a model HG-18 listed in my 1979 Hohner Price List but it is not designated as a Contessa. It is a Deluxe Classical guitar with a laminate top that lists for $220.

Sounds like you have a budget Classical guitar built in Japan in the 1970's.
