Celebrated for its flexibility and broad tonal palette, Hofner's versions of the semi-hollow body - the Verythin Standard, Classic and Vintage - can portray the subdued warmth of a full hollow body, the bright and primary hues of a solid body, or just about any shade of tone in-between.

The Hofner Verythin Series has a much smaller, thinner body profile than conventional semi-hollow body guitars. In addition, every Verythin employs a hand-fitted solid spruce sustain block that does not use tone bars. These features reduce the potential for feedback, accentuate the tonal punch and attack and preserve the guitar's acoustic qualities.

From the introspective lament of a jazz lick to the aggressive fire of a rock riff, Hofner's Verythin Classic is at home in just about any musical milieu. Its German spruce top and flamed maple back and sides provide a regal backdrop for the Classic's elegant inlays and gold-plated appointments.

With the roll of a knob, the unique "Clear Contour" electronic circuitry of the Verythin Classic can simulate the sound of nearly-silent single-coil or humbucking pickups. This simplicity of operation frees the guitarist to concentrate on the performance rather than risk distraction from awkward switches or gimmicks.
