As the flagship of Hofner's hand-made hollow-body guitars, the Jazzica Custom seamlessly blends old-world craftsmanship with contemporary features. For example, the "Contour" body design draws guitarist and instrument closer together, enabling one to seem like a natural extension of the other without compromising structural integrity or tone. And, as Germany's largest maker of guitars and violins, we freely apply our expertise across the Hofner family of instruments. That is why the Jazzica's solid German spruce top is hand-carved and graduated, similar to a traditional violin. That is also why the Jazzica's top is braced with a bass bar - again, like a violin.

Quality without compromise - Hofner's Jazzica Custom is a masterpiece of meticulous craftsmanship that redefines the expectations of what a hand-made archtop guitar should be.

The Jazzica's 24-fret neck is joined to the body at the 16th fret, thereby easing access to the upper registers and encouraging new fingerboard explorations across two full octaves.

Every Hofner Jazzica Custom includes a set of ebony soundhole plugs which are simply inserted into the sound hole openings to reduce the potential for feedback at higher volume levels. Use of the soundhole plugs will dampen the instruments acoustic output but will enable the player to increase amplifier volume with less risk of feedback.

Hofner's President Series establishes the current models as worthy successors to their legendary namesake which, as celebrated examples of premium European archtops, are owned by renowned and influential jazz guitarists. While many design elements of Hofner's President series have a traditional flair, several features - such as the 16th fret neck-to-body joint and the 24-fret fingerboard - distinguish them from ordinary jazz guitars.

The New President represents the pinnacle of the guitar maker's art. Exquisite woods - from the hand-carved, solid German spruce to the flamed maple back and sides - render a statement of stunning physical beauty. Gold-plated hardware, ebony trim and mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays add just the right touch to the President's tasteful elegance.

The New President exemplifies beauty that is functional as well as cosmetic. For example, separate tone and volume controls are mounted discreetly on the New President's streamlined ebony pickguard. And, as with the floating pickup attached on the base of the neck, the lack of milling holes in the solid German spruce top preserves its acoustic integrity and maximizes its resonance.
