This super-cool offset Hofner model has a punchy, jangly tone thanks to the lightweight, all-maple design and a great set of single coil pickups. Perfect for indie rock, slacker rock, shoegaze, this, that, and the other.

Overall, the guitar is in great shape and totally original. The frets are pretty worn down, but it still plays with nice, medium action and carries passable intonation all the way up the neck. The body definitely shows its age with some deep checking and the occasional scuff/scratch- but the finish remains glossy as ever, and it carries a timeless look perfect for the modern era of guitar.

A great way to stand out on stage is to play a guitar you don't see everyday, and you do not see this one everyday!
