'Tradition'
means summoning the best of what has come before. 'Innovative'
means anticipated the best of what can be. Höfner guitars
represents the best of both approaches.
Höfner guitars
successfully balance old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge
creativity. Every hand-made Höfner archtop, semi-hollowbody or
bass guitar is a testament to how tradition and innovation can be
combined to fashion instruments that at once seem both collectable and
contemporary.
For example, the
asymmetrically-profiled necks of our guitars offer unequalled comfort
and playability. Innovations in structure and design are both
functional and elegant. And our balanced original Höfner pick-ups
and unique circuitry enable the player to capture and reproduce every
imaginable nuance of warm woo tone from the familiar to the
transcendent.
The individuals who build
Höfner guitars are dedicated artisans whose skills are as intuitive as
they are meticulous, and the pride in their workmanship has been honed
to a fine edge over many generations. These luthiers carefully
sculpt premium European tone woods - hand-picked and naturally air-dried
for several years - to coax the optimal tone and resonance from all our
guitars.
Höfner guitars are built
with meticulous German craftsmanship, coveted for their quality, and
designed to be timeless. Höfner guitars are among those rare
classics that are treasured as much today as they have been -and will
be- for all time.
