Flamed maple body with spruce top, sunburst finish. Incl. Höfner Deluxe case.

I love the look of those Hofners. I've never played that particular model but I'd wager that it's fantastic.

Are you getting one, Tim?

Hey, is there anything these Hofner Verythins can't do? From semi-acoustic finger-style (Trace!) to Shred Rock to Blues to Jazz... If you can hang in there through this first guy's "zany" intro for several sample styles, then into the second guy's demo, well, you be the judge. Just how true to the original the model is and whether it has a tailpiece or internal sustain block seems to dictate the wide variation in price. All are classic and classy IMO.

I like the headstock and the tailpiece.
