HÖFNER VERYTHIN
PArDOn THe PUn, but good-quality semi-acoustics aren’t
exactly ‘thin’ on the ground these days. What makes these
Höfner models worthy of your attention is a wealth of history,
tone, great playability, and that unique body thinness. You
would think that less depth equalled a reduction in tonal
delivery, but the Verythin models counter that with that solid
centre-block. While the Mod edition will attract a certain type
of player – ie, mods – the Mahogany and Bass are perfect for
anyone looking for a retro tone machine that keeps them
coming back for more. Just like Macca.
