I am a Bass Player Who Sidelines on Acoustic Guitar.
This Guitar has a Beautiful Rich and Warm Sound, with a Bright Edge.
Tuners are a Bit Unreliable However.

This Guitar ( Like Many Hofner Acoustics ) has a Tilt Neck Adustment. I Finally had that Set Up Properly and Now the Action is Superb....Plays Like a Strat...Which I Like !

It Should be noted that this is a Lightweight Acoustic, along the Lines of a Hofner Beatle Bass.

Playing Bass since 69', Acoustic Guitar since the Early 70's. I also Own a New Hofner Icon Beatle Bass, Hartke Kickback 10 Bass Combo, and a Fender BXR25 Practice Combo.
I kind of wish it had Onboard Controls on it.
Lightweight, Great Sounding and Easy to Play !
A Vintage Hofner that is also Cool Looking and has Plenty of " MOJO ! "
For the Money, Cannot be Beat ! Worth Far More than What I Paid !
