Sadly Discontinued - awaiting information and pictures of the new replacement model due middle of May 2015.

The Hofner J17 cutaway archtop guitar is built using the skills and know-how of over 80 years of building archtop guitars. It echoes those Hofner jazz archtop guitars of the 1950s, which are renowned for their loud acoustic volume. This electro acoustic model has a cutaway, allowing easier access to the top end of the fretboard for a greater range of musical styles. It's fitted with a Hofner jazz pickup with volume and tone controls so you can use this guitar acoustically or plugged in.High gloss natural finish. A Hofner H64/8 quality hard case is included.
