Player Reviews:
"Charlie Hoffman's 12 string Jumbo is one of my favorite 12 strings. His long tenure shows in his designs that really work and always provide maximum tone with ease of play. This is a 12 string that works for fingerstyle or strumming with a wider right hand spacing. It's a joy, truly!" - Paul Heumiller
"Simply a great 12-string guitar. The narrower body depth makes if very comfortable to hold." - Al Petteway
"Too often, 12 string guitars are difficult to play, especially if you have smaller hands. If you've always loved the sound, but had difficulty with bigger necks, this is the 12 string for you. With a clean, crisp voice, this Hoffman 12 is ideal for solo or ensemble playing. " - Steven Dembroski
