I’ve had a Höfner icon for many years and have loved it, but recently purchased this German made Höfner which has been a league of its own. The woody tone is incomparable, the quality is unmistakable, and the look is as you’d expect, perfect. I imported this to the United States and the process was very easy and I am satisfied with Thomann, definitely recommend Höfner and Thomann to anyone.

V prvom rade je to nádherný hudobný nástroj. Keď som dal dole pickguard, tak som na moment prestal dýchať. Krása a dokonalosť. Zabudnite na foto. Nemecký originál má farebne krásne natural prevedenie, je viac do hneda ako lacnejší čínsky brat a je extrémne ľahký.
Celkové spracovanie, ladiaca mechanika, nultý pražec, kobylka, osadenie snímačov, potenciometrov, hardware a vyladenie samotné je na vynikajúcej úrovni.
Krk samotný ma trocha prekvapil. Viem, že na Hofnerkách je to celkom problém. Je relatívne krehký, a pozor: je viac vyvýšený od tela a podstatne hrubší ako som si myslel. Osobne musím priznať, že prevedenie Ignition mi ide viac do ruky, aj preto, že krk je tam osadený na úrovni tela nástroja, ale možno je to len otázka zvyku.
Jediné, čo nechápem sú originál struny Hofner. To je niečo hrozné. Tie rýchlo vymeňte, nastavte si kobylku, zapojte do VOXu a hrajte.
Paráda
