Hey, any archtop lovers out there? Here's a pic of my new Hofner. Could not pass up the price on this beauty.

Nice one ! Be curious to hear your comments on it as I am on the lookout for a Jazzica

The Hofner New President is almost as loud as my acoustic. Extremely rich tone, ala a Gibson L5. The neck seems longer as it joins the body at the 16th fret, but it makes playing the upper chords very easy. The Jazzica has a different body dimension so I don't know if you can compare the two. But the carved top is the only way I'd go now. Feedback is not an issue, unless you play in a loud group. Judicious use of equalization and amp placement can eliminate most feedback. I got mine at Jeff Hale's at an unbelieveable price. You might want to check him out.

Bickertfan:
