Hofner Acoustic Classic Steel String Guitar - 'Sonorous Steel String' (HA-CS8)

Details
Handmade in Germany.

A brand-new model that combines a torrefied spruce top with a body made from larch, a timber that is rare for guitar construction but turned out to be perfectly suitable; not too hard but very firm and elastic. By a gentle smoking process, it becomes a visual delight with vibrant colours from rich gold to dark chocolate.

The active pickup system is discreetly fitted without any opening in the sides to preserve the subtle and natural aesthetics.

100% compliant to CITES regulations
