2004 Hoffman Guitars Jumbo - Acoustic Guitar
Charles Hoffman has been making wonderful instruments for over 30 years. You can see the experience when you hold this guitar, every detail is cleanly executed. This Jumbo features a shallow body for a big, but controlled sound. This slimmer body, short scale and B-Band pickup, makes this a great gigging guitar. The setup is superb allowing for a very low action all the way up the neck.
Audio played by Al Petteway

Player Reviews:
"This is one extremely easy to play guitar. The true neck, low action and short scale make it a real joy to play. It's effortless. The slim body and pickup make it a great choice for the stage. The voice is big and jumbo-like, but controlled and even. The bass is great, but not overbearing. Charles Hoffman is a master builder with over 30 years of experience. He knows how to build a great player's instrument." - Paul Heumiller
