From the introspective lament of a jazz lick to the
aggressive fire of a rock riff, Hofner's Verythin Classic JS is at home
in just about any musical milieu. Its German spruce top and flamed maple
back and sides provide a regal backdrop for the Classic's elegant inlays
and gold-plated appointments.
With the roll of a knob, the unique Clear Contour electronic circuitry
of the Verythin Classic can simulate the sound of nearly-silent
single-coil or humbucking pickups. This simplicity of operation frees
the guitarist to concentrate on the performance rather than risk
distraction from awkward switches or gimmicks.
Celebrated for its flexibility and broad tonal palette, H"fner's
versions of the 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.
The solid tonewood block inside the body is carefully crafted to fit
exactly the curved top and back of the guitar. This construction
provides a sensitive response and excellent sustain.
Every Verythin employs a hand-fitted solid spruce sustain block that
does not use tone bars. These features reduce the potential for
feedback, accentuate the tonal punch and attack and preserve the
guitar's acoustic qualities.
Based on the Golden Hofner of the '60s. Solid carved
top and back with single super-warm, round-sounding pickup at the neck.
It's distinctive look is enhanced by a carved ebony pickguard and
tailpiece, gold hardware, and violin-varnish finish. Includes hardshell
case.
