I’ve had a Höfner icon for many years and have loved it, but recently purchased this German made Höfner which has been a league of its own. The woody tone is incomparable, the quality is unmistakable, and the look is as you’d expect, perfect. I imported this to the United States and the process was very easy and I am satisfied with Thomann, definitely recommend Höfner and Thomann to anyone.
