Comments about Hofner Shorty Electric Travel Guitar:
My Shorty came two days ago and I was blown away! Blue with black headstock (I did not like the color matched headstocks in the catalog), great action, great sound. Yes, it's a little top heavy, but very manageable, my only complaint is difficulty in tuning, I think the intonation is a bit off but this can be adjusted.I would recommend this guitar to anyone, beginner or experienced ,very affordable, a great addition to the collection!
Pros
- Convenient Size
Cons
- Poorly Balanced
Best Uses
- Practice While Traveling
Comments about Hofner Shorty Electric Travel Guitar:
The headstock, fret board, pickups, bridge and strings are standard size. The body is one-forth the size of a standard body. The size is perfect for fitting into overhead compartments on airplanes. The case or lightly padded bag that came with the guitar is did not give me confidence it would protect anything. I opened up the seams and added additional foam padding. The guitar isn't balanced because of the small body. There is not enough weight in the body. The net result is you have to hold the guitar in your hands and arms to keep the headstock from dipping. I have a hard enough time learning how to play let alone fighting with it. I adjusted my strap every which way, but found that an acoustic guitar strap works much better at maintaining balance. An acoustic strap attaches to the body and the headstock rather than either end of the body. I was disappointed that all headstocks come in black, regardless of the body color. The advertised images show the same color (red, black or blue) on the body and headstock. The reply from MF was that it's a manufacturing decision by Hofner to go with one headstock color (black). I would have ordered black if I knew that. MF went on to say that these are stock images from Hofner. MF offered to exchange, but I wanted the color. Besides, who's going to see me practicing in hotel rooms. I purchased a headphone amp so as not to disturb others while practicing. The headphone amp plugs into the standard output jack socket.
In summary, great guitar for practicing while traveling.

Comments about Hofner Shorty Electric Travel Guitar:
I bought this guitar a few days ago to take on a two week trip because I have gigs as soon as I return. I was hoping for something that I could just get by with that would be small enough to carry on my flight. After checking out all kinds of travel guitars on youtube, I decided on this one. I have since been playing this guitar constantly at home. This one had great action right out of the box as soon as I tuned it up. It plays very comfortably, stays in tune and has a really good sound. I am very happy with this purchase. If I lost or damaged this guitar I would definitely buy another.
