Master Guitars

An  independent acoustic laboratory (IFM in Zwota, Germany) painstakingly

analyzes Master Series guitars to ensure the treble, midrange and

bass response of each instrument meets Hofner’s exacting

specifications. The results are proudly documented on a

certificate included with every HGL 50 SE, HM 85 and HM

88 master classical guitar.

Each Höfner’s master classical guitar is individually

constructed by one of Höfner’s most senior and experienced

luthiers. By combining only the choicest tone woods with

an extraordinary attention to detail, Höfner’s master

craftsmen create instruments capable of translating

every nuance of technique into clear, sweet sound.

The consistent grain of the spruce top and the all-

solid rosewood body give balance and projection

to the sound of the HM 88. Here, the master applies

his experience and well-honed skills as he selects and

matches the tonewoods himself.

Aside from spruce, cedar is often used for

guitar tops. A high quality solid cedar top

(such as those featured on our HM-models)

has a fully-developed tone from the

beginning and, depending on the design of

the guitar, responds quickly and produces

impressive volume.
