Höfner Verythin HCT: Back to the Sixties with Modern Comfort
With the Verythin-series hollow body guitars, Höfner breathes new life into classic designs. The HCT-VTH-D-B is a reissue of the iconic Verythin semi-acoustic guitars from the 1960s. This Verythin HCT (Contemporary) stands out for its ultra-thin body of only 32 mm, which, despite its large size, offers the playing comfort of a solid-body electric guitar. The guitar features several classic details, including Höfner’s traditional striped position markers.
Höfner Verythin HCT: Less Feedback, More Sustain
The neck, top, and the sides and back of the Verythin HCT are made of flame maple and finished with a transparent brown lacquer. The carved top and back not only strengthen the construction but also give the guitar an elegant look. Inside the hollow body is a solid spruce center block that enhances sustain, reduces unwanted feedback, and gives the guitar a deeper tone. Thanks to this construction and wood types, the Höfner Verythin HCT produces a surprisingly loud and bright sound.
The main differences from the Deluxe (HCT-VTH-D)
• Unique pickup combination: The Deluxe models with dual humbuckers, with split function
• for tighter rock work.
• Alternative body shape: The Deluxe variants have a slightly more compact, redesigned body surface (often 14 inches wide instead of the traditional larger body), but retain the extremely comfortable thickness of only 32 mm.
Key specifications and features
• Body: Laminated maple for the sides and back. The sound chamber is ultra-deep (1.25 inches / ~3 cm).
• Neck: Glued maple neck with the comfortable, slim "Slendaneck" profile.
• Fretboard: Jatoba or rosewood with 22 frets.
• Electronics: Equipped with two Höfner "Vintage Voice" humbuckers, ideal for a warm yet clear sound.
• Hardware: Traditional bridge with a guitar- or tailpiece

Elements and Hardware
The Verythin HCT is equipped with two full-size Höfner humbucker elements. This not only delivers the characteristic 60s sound but also a wide range of tones, from spicy blues to hard rock distortion. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control for maximum control of your sound.
Both humbuckers can be split via Push/Pull on both volume knobs, giving you even more tonal options, and it has new pots and wiring.
The hardware consists of a fully adjustable ‘Tune-o-matic’ bridge with tailpiece and a set of stylish oil-bath tuners with mother-of-pearl buttons.

This Hofner Contemporary Series Verythin Standard D has been set up by me for very comfortable playability and optimal tone.
It has undergone a full maintenance service.
This guitar is truly in top condition and in mint condition.
Höfner Verythin Deluxe Contemporary was produced in January 2021.
