The Hofner Shorty appears to be a replica of the original German made one I had in the eighties which I unfortunately sold and later regretted it. As a replacement this Shorty one is made in China and is an exception instrument. It is lightweight and is small enough to be a travel guitar even though it has a full size 24 and 3/4" length 24 fret neck. The guitar is very well made and finished beautifully too. It will however take a bit of getting used to playing as the head is top heavy because of the small sized body and it could be described as having "neck droop" particularly when playing seated. You need to play with your right hand resting on the bridge to overcome this problem. Either that or always use a strap. There are ways around this with though, so don't let this put you off the guitar. Straight out of the box the guitar is well set up by the factory with an acceptable action and intonation. I have adjusted my action lower which was very easily done. The neck is straight and frets acceptably true, so for the money- this little Guitar is of truly exceptional value.Read full review
