Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a great Hofner semi-hollow body all around. The pickups sound good and have even better variance between the two. The neck is warm and full while the bridge has a ton of chime and a bit more vintage jangle that suits its construction well. The body features gorgeous cuts of flame maple throughout, giving it a lot of visual character, especially under its Trans Red finish. The controls are intuitive, the neck plays beautifully at length, and overall, the entire guitar is in great shape for a used guitar, providing in as much value in look as it does in tone.
Condition: This Hofner is in very good condition overall, if not better. It does only small dings and dents and light surface scratches, but is otherwise in fantastic shape for a used guitar. The frets show very little wear, if any, and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
