Sound
:
10
I play all styles. This guitar is very good for fingerstyle players! Also for strumming.
The guitar is very dynamic with a deep bass. The highs are brilliant.
Pluged into an amp it sounds even more amazing!
It has an enormous Volume!
I have been to the biggest music store in Europe. I was looking for a very big Jumbo with an impressive volume. I played a lot of jumbos. And the H??fner was the biggest AND it sounded better then all others. I played guitars that cost more then twice what the H??fner costs. And the H??fner beated them easy!

I cant complain about the action. I play medium gauge strings and the neck holds them without lossing action.

For China fabrication a very good setup and finish. there are no missings or faults. inside it is not manufactured perfectly. you can see leavings of glue and there were splinters of wood. but that are cosmetics.

This guitar is one of the best I played with in the last time. before buying I checked all the famous guitars like Yamaha CPX 700, Epiphone PR-5E, Takamine EG 523 SC etc. and I compared the H??fner with a Maton and a Martin three times more expensive.
But for that Price there is no rival!
