Great Travel Guitar - Höfner Shorty Electric. Played through a Two Rock Studio Head, Palmer Cabinet loaded with an Eminence Patriot Speaker. Clean first, Okko Diablo (Gain 1 + Gain 2) later, Ditto Looper.
I live on Long Island right near the old Multivox distribution warehouse in Hauppage. Multivox was the sole importer in the USA of Hofner instruments and they also had their own line of pedals, amps and other instruments. They used to be the sole importer of the Hofner Beatle Bass. I used to go there to clean out left overs and closeouts to sell at my music shop. In the early 80s, I picked up two kits of Shorties. One bass and one 6 string. I built both of them and still have them. They used to sell them as kits you built yourself. They came from Germany. Nowadays, they have reissued them and they are made in China. My Geman Shorties are very nice guitars, especially the bass. I don't know how the Chinese ones are. Good playing though mate. You have a lot of love and enthusiasm for what you do and it shows.
What do you mean by shortie bass? Is it another model?
I dig that Scofield solo.
Sunny side of the street - played virtuoso style!!!
I've watched this 50,000,000 times... I can't stop! XD
Through a Two-Rock!!! Classic! Great playing!
lovely playing .....sounds great ,plannig to buy the deluxe 2 pickups for traveling round . hotel fun ... Got it ... Bridge wilkinson, pick up from a vintage vs6 wilkinson ... Vanson tuner .. Nice
That was rad.
Very nice .You are the first person I've seen with the strap where I plan to put mine when it arrives.The logical place to counter neck dive .I've got a deluxe [2 pick up)ordered abs will be happy if sounds as good as yours .Cheers
Nice job!!
Very nice, that's what's up!
Hallo Thomas. Danke für das sehr inspirierend Video. Ich habe als Entscheidungshilfe veschieden Beispiele angesehen und Dein Clip hat mich letzenendes zum Kauf derHöfner bewogen. Und Du hast für michauch gleich das Problem mit der Kopflastigkeit gelöst.Toller Sound, geile Chops und übrigens... das Hemd ist tatsächlich der Knaller.

@Sascha Pleier, Danke, freut mich! Check mal meine neue CD unter www.lilahouse.at Liebe Grüsse, Thomas.
where can i get the shirt?
Did you write that great loop? I really need the tab/notes or whatever! By the way, you made me buy this guitar!
Gold dust at my feet.
Nice playing mate , the only problem I have with these is I wish they would "add " even a little bit to too the bottom horn , then it wouldn't keep slipping off my lap
I could always play it laying down on my back :)
Excellent playing and sound ! Do you have any idea why there is so much hum noise ? is it the guitar pickup ?
the hum noise is NOT from the pickup - it's from my recording equipment (camera input ...)
Thank you ! :)
I really struggle to make my Hofner stay still enough to play it. I mean, I really struggle with the guitar, anyway :-D But it's good enough for fingerboard practice when I'm away from home.
It looks like you either got a hofner shorty that was well set up or you set it up yourself properly (if it is a chinese hofner shorty). The one I bought has issues that I need to sort out such as the action needs raising, the truss rod needs adjusting and the nut probably needs to be replaced with one that is set up right. I'm thinking of making a new body for mine out of a heavier more dense wood. I love how easy the thing is to play, but I don't like how the intonation is out and how it goes out of tune so easily.
Mind you my old 90's japanese squier strat has issues with intonation that all these years later I have still not sorted out lol.
🔝🔝🔝
How long its full size? Thanks in action
Might be a silly question, but is a shorter guitar ok to learn on, for muscle memory? Seems like since the frets are narrower, it would kind of throw you off.
I don't know, I think in the end it doesn't matter, you have to feel comfortable!
James May is that you?
Would it be worth it fixing some good pick ups on the guitar?
I have that same guitar and bought it as a joke.. but... Is there any way to keep the tune with this guitar? I want to fix that problem :( just dont know how.. Can some one help me??
I just got hold of a Hofner shorty and I brought strap locks and put them on, but I can't get the strap on the strap lock because there isn't enough room, and even when you get the strap on it is unbalenced and tips forward. How did you manage to attach the strap to the end of the guitar?
Thomas Williams looks tied on to me
if ur strap is attached to d body, tendency is to move either 4ward or downward unless if attached to d headstock. Me, i dont attached to d body, all my guitars acoustic and EG atta hes to headstock. Regarding how to attach to headstock or what u call tip, u can buy leather strap holder in lazada, however set of strap has a string
Is that Shorty what you get with outside your locale, Thomas?
ace playing, are you using the stock pickup?
Yes, stock pickup
I am looking for a study guitar (I have others acoustic mostly and play them for things) and this has 24 frets. That is what I am looking for... is the string ... neck adjustable? I am learning various exercises mostly ... light and can do it at will. Thanks for the jazz test .... everyone (it seems) are into distortions and I am not into that at all ... (at this point) . I need clean and precise tool and use a metronome. Is there any other units ... that doesn't cost much more if at all?
U play real good. Loved yor playing.
I play soft-hard rock, blues, country and sometime metal .
Should i get this ?
Does it stays in tune coz i pull too much in soloing ?
Is it good for recording and giging?
Does it noisy ?
it stays in tune. Why? Becoz its a fixed saddle nut, unlike with springed tremolo. No problem also if ur tremolo is bigsby
Anything will sound good thru a Two Rock
I didn’t know James May played guitar
I am in Taiwan and I am trying tu buy a Hofner Shorty from China...I
don´t think Hofners are made in Germany anymore, so all of them have to
come from China, but there are too many different adds in Taobao, I
don´t know which ones are bad knockoffs and which are legit... If
someone has purchased a shorty from China, can you please give me some
advice.
Test on a travel Amp.....
Excellent playing! I was wondering, does attaching the strap to the head instead of the body has any advantage in the stability of playing position?
not really having it at the head can make the guitar parallel to the ground
I think it is more stable
Actually, attaching the strap to the head may be the only way to stabilize this instrument because of the uncomfortably disproportionate weight of the fretboard.
I wonder if I can put slightly thicker strings to get a more acoustic sound, I need a really small travel guitar to practice but I am learning blues and folk and can't use a pick to save my life
EG string gauge is only upto 10g, there u can make it sound like a li'l acoustic
iPad, audio interface and Positive Grid FX for 50$ let you set any tone you want, even reasonably acoustic. Put on earphones or wherever there is a jack: home stereo, real amplifier, car radio ....
Your facial expressions make me feel violated! Lol
😂
can this go on the overhead airplane compartment?
i had it couple of time with me without problems, but i guess it depends on the airplane people, if they let you take it with you ...
tommy tonebiz what is the total length from headstock to lower bout including the strap button? thanks
tommy tonebiz what is the total length from headstock to lower bout including the strap button? thanks
actually my Tele fits in the overhead of the 737-300 just fine, chances are you don't have to worry at all
I am really surprised! I dont trust the international flights overseas, as they may request the guitar to be taken into cargo. So if it happened to be in a soft gig case, the guitar is bye bye
