Hofner Verythin HVSC-R Red Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

This is a Hofner Verythin HVSC-R Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Red finish. With Chinese woodwork, and finally assembly and set-up in Germany, this guitar consists of a Maple body with a Spruce top, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tune-o-Matic bridge with roller saddles, a Bigsby B70 tailpiece with added Vibramate plate, Sperzel tuners, and a set of Hofner Diamond Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.

The Hofner Verythin truly lives up to its name with its body depth of only 1.5 inches, feeling light and easy to play. The neck is a rounded ‘C’ shape, filling the hand pleasantly and its jumbo frets making bending a breeze. The cutaway is shallower than your typical semi-hollow body electric guitar, granting easy access to the upper frets and the tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles, and Bigsby B70 tailpiece with added Vibramate plate keep the guitar feeling solid and stable.

The two Hofner Diamond Logo Pickups sound meaty and thick without having too high of an output. When amplified, the guitar sounds very clear and articulate, and the pickups certainly translate this attribute well while also providing plenty of power. The Verythin HVSC-R is resonant, especially for a guitar of its humble thickness and it sustains very well, feeling responsive yet controlled when plugged in.
