Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A minor dent on the top was filled, color matched and refinished.
The Höfner New President is a beautifully crafted archtop that embodies the elegance and rich tonal tradition for which Höfner has long been celebrated. Its hand-carved solid spruce top and hand-carved flame maple back and sides produce a warm, articulate voice with exceptional clarity, projection, and dynamic response. The floating Höfner Diamond Gold pickup faithfully preserves the guitar's natural acoustic character while offering smooth, expressive amplified tones. Finished in a classic Sunburst with gold hardware and premium appointments throughout, the New President is an inspiring instrument that rewards expressive playing with exceptional tone, feel, and craftsmanship.
