Höfner Shorty

[Eternal Dragon]

My friend owns this guitar, except his is all black. It absolutely PWNS!! So has anyone heard of this brand or this guitar??

I've never owned one, but there a famous company for building the infamous violin shape beatle bass..

Not the first time I've heard of the Shorty, the origional is quite famous and I believe it to be one of the first, if not the first "travel" electrics. Does your friend own an origional or a reissue? If its the origional one, tell him to hold onto it, its quite a guitar..the new ones are quite cheap and nothing like the origional.

He payed around AU$250 which is even less in USD I think. During one of his gigs he smashed it on a tv, but surprisingly enough it survived the ordeal, lol.

That guitar is what the word BADASS would look like if BADASS were a tangeable object.
