It is a Masterpiece of Artistry, Blending Old-World Craftsmanship with Contemporary Features!
Featuring the Hofner Contour Body, specially designed for the Jazzica (Tapering from 4" at the Tailpiece to 2-1/2" at the Neck)drawing the guitarist and instrument closer together, enabling one to seem like a natural extension of the other without compromising structural integrity or tone. The comfort of this guitar in either a sitting or standing position is unsurpassed due to the innovative body design of this guitar.

The neck utilizes an Asymmetric Neck Profile, which is thicker at the bass side and thinner at the treble, joining the body at the 16th fret for ease of access and playability.

It is enhanced by the single neck-mounted Floating Humbucking Pickup, the hand fitted Ebony Bridge (with compensated B String) and a Brass Reinforced Ebony Tailpiece.

Considering the Craftsmanship, Design, Hand Selected Woods and Innovative Features - This Guitar is a must have for any True Jazz or Blues Guitarist.
