Hofner Shorty Deluxe Red Electric Travel Guitar
Product no: 9000-0083-8859 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Offering the full output of a pair of fat humbuckers while bearing a body no bigger than half a loaf of bread, the Höfner Shorty Deluxe travel guitar may be small, but comes backed up by legendary Höfner sound. This stripped down upstart comes loaded with two Open Humbuckers controlled via a single tone pot, a single volume pot, and a three-way selector switch - all fit for weaving thick, double-coil-style tone whether this wee axe is hooked up to a combo amplifier or a headphone amp.

The Höfner Shorty Deluxe: Compact Power

Cut free of any excess horns or any lower bout, the compact body of the Shorty isn't jut easy to travel with but is so lightweight it can serve as a fully-grown, extreme performance tool. The 24.7 inch scale length is just a hundredth of an inch shorter than the standard 24.75 inch scale length of many a legendary, full-sized solid body guitar, while it bears a lower string tension and lighter playing feel than models with a 25.5 inch scale length. To finish, the all-in-one tailpiece and bridge is incredibly stable and easily set up, kitting you out with a truly customisable little touring buddy.

MusikMesse 2016: Get Back with Hofner

Tuesday 5 April 2016

The German Hofner company will always have a certain connection to the Beatles—mostly because of Paul McCartney's love of the Hofner violin bass. Of course, Hofner is quite proud of this fact, and they've decided to celebrate it by releasing four handmade limited edition effects pedals for guitar and bass guitar: the Hofner Limited Edition Tremalux, Germanium Bass Fuzz, Sound Of The 60's Reverb and Time And Again Delay.
