2004 German made Hofner Master classical guitar. Each HM guitar is individually constructed by a master luthier and it shows. Select German spruce top, solid mahogany back, sides and neck, rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge and rosewood machineheads on gold tuning machines. Beautiful gloss finish to the body with a stunning matt finish to the spruce top.

I hunted far and wide before settling on this guitar. The sound is stunning. Bright trebles with a rich dark bass. Incredible projection and clarity. Fantastic intonation and superb tone. Almost unbelievable and, I would have thought unobtainable, in this price range.

Top quality woods used throughout and beautifully put together. The headstock is a work of art alone and reflects the quality applied across the whole manufacturing process.
Reliability/Durability

Solid in nearly every way - a question mark remains on the quality of the rosewood tuners - pretty soft and flimsy so will they last?

I asked them a question before purchasing and they responded courteously and promptly

If it was lost or stolen my insurance company would replace it immediately......
I love the clarity, the action is low enough to be very fast.
It cam with a gig bag and I now need to invest in a hard case for added protection.
