Classic Series

A prominent part of our instrument-making repertoire for more

than a century, Höfner classical guitars are found everywhere

from practice rooms to recital halls. Their outstanding value

in terms of cost, craftsmanship and quality of sound has

earned Höfner classical guitars a number of accolades including

the State of Germany’s prestigious ‘Deutschen Musikinstru-

mentenpreis’ as well as numerous recommendations from

the ‘European Guitar Teachers Association’ (EGTA).

As with violins and other stringed instruments, a guitar’s

wood is what gives wing to the soul of its sound.

Carefully selected for consistent grain and acoustic

potential, the woods used in Höfner classical guitars

are patiently air-dried in our own climate-controlled

facilities before going to the luthier’s workbench.

Only the best hand-selected German

spruce is used by our guitar makers for

the top of an HS and HF classical guitar.

If the instrument is played regularly, the

sound of the solid spruce top will improve

over the years, much like the way a good

wine achieves its full maturity over time.

See page 10/11 for specifications.
