Description

The Hofner Shorty was first produced back in the 1980s and Hofner continues to offer this compact travel guitar for those guitarists who can't bear to be without a guitar even when on holiday! The Hofner Shorty offers a full-scale length combined with such small overall dimensions that it can be taken anywhere. It fits easily into the overhead locker on most aircraft for example. The compact size also makes it perfect for lounging on your couch and noodling on the Shorty!

Including a Hofner gigbag.

To change the strings on a Shorty guitar, it is necessary to remove the bridge to change the strings. Completely slacken all strings and remove them from the tuners. Slacken the 2 large bridge retaining screws, pull back the bridge and lift it out. The old strings can now be removed and new strings can be placed through the underside of the bridge. Replace the bridge and gently tighten the 2 screws. The new strings can now be wound onto the appropriate tuners.
