Celebrated for its flexibility and broad tonal
palette, this Hofner semi-hollowbody can portray the subdued warmth of a
full hollowbody, the bright and primary hues of a solidbody, or just
about any shade of tone in between. It has a much smaller, thinner body
profile than conventional semi-hollowbody guitars. In addition, the
Verythin employs a hand-fitted solid spruce sustain block that does not
use tone bars. These features reduce the potential for feedback and
accentuate the tonal punch and attack while preserving the guitar's
acoustic qualities. The current version of the Verythin Standard updates
the original 1960 Hofner design with contemporary features: top-shelf
humbucking pickups, Schaller tuners, and Schaller bridge and tailpiece.
With its slender body crafted of highly flamed maple, it is a beauty to
behold. Its design and special features liberate guitarists from the
volume and style constraints of ordinary semi-hollowbody guitars.
