2000 Hofner Jazzica Custom

Founded in 1887, the Hofner Company became Germany's largest maker of fretted and bowed instruments. Now based in Hagenau, Bavaria, Hofner's strong violin background gave it an edge in producing archtop guitars, which they've built for over half a century, including signature creations like the Attilla Zoller Model.

Built with peerless German craftsmanship, the Hofner Jazzica blends topflight materials with highly innovative design. Like the viols, the top and braces are carved from solid Alpine spruce, and the back and sides are intensely figured maple. The distinctive contoured body tapers over two inches from endblock to heel, creating a resonant acoustic soundbox that is notably comfortable under the arm.

The Höfner Jazzica Custom comes with removable ebony-covered foam soundhole plugs which ensure it can played at very high volumes. These plugs dampen the acoustic volume and bass response so it can be turned up.

This instrument is in fantastic condition, and the only notable wear is a handful of finish cracks in the top. 

Original case included.
