Hofner VeryThin Guitars
GyRo
I was thinking about picking one of these up. If anyone has one or tryed one
please let me know what yall think. I am not a 'jazz" player in the
traditional sense. I am looking for a nice warm smooth tone on my high notes
but also a kinda of brightness (non midrangy) sound on lower registers and
chords. I am looking for that nice balance. Also I do runing quite a bit of
effects pedals in my rig not to mention the new GR-20. Does anyone know if I
can even fit a gk-3 pick up on a semi hollowbody?
Thanks Yall!!!!!!

I have had a Verythin Classic for a few months now. Frankly, when I
first got it I didn't like much about it. Now, it's become one of my
favorite guitars ever. And that's a little disappointing because in a
few months I have a custom order from Hamer coming. My plan was to
sell the Hofner to help pay for it. Now I'm not so sure I want to do
that.
I have never had a guitar that has grown on me like this. I love the
neck and action(had it plekked), the comfort of it (very light), and
the warm jazz tone I get out of it. It's a very sweet sounding guitar
with warm tones anywhere on the neck.
The biggest compliment I can give it is that after a few days I was
ready to sell it (actually had it on Ebay), and now I'm not sure I can
part with it.
Perhaps Jack will comment. He's much more analytical than I and knows
this guitar inside and out.
Good luck.

to the body (mostly physically for me, as this axe sounds like an L-5,
anyhow). However, it is a serious instrument. Only thing to do is to
try one out.

weight or feedback problems and with better upper end access. Plus it gets
great blues and fusion tones. Frankly, it smokes any other semi-hollow
guitar and many full archtops I've played...

Jack, maybe you should put in your sig that you're a Hofner endorser.

The GK3, can, indeed, fit on a semi-hollow. The problem is that if your
guitar has a trapeze type tailpiece and it's an archtop, you will have to
screwn the pickup into the body. The double sided tape doesn't hold for
long and will ruin the finish. I guess you could use some kidn of putty,
but everytime you plug or unplug the cable, the pickup moves around. if
your achtop doesn't have a trapeze tailiece, you may be able to use the
Les Paul adapter to secure the pickup to the body without screwing in the
module.
