The Höfner violin guitar HI 459 RD impresses with its admirable beauty. In its dark red lacquer dress it is a horny, hellish diva. It is comfortable (very light) and uncomfortable (extremely narrow neck, small body) to play on. It can play delicate, clear tones as well as 50s/60s rock 'n' roll. Indie, Pop, Blues, 70s Hard Rock no problem. But with heavy metal, the diva gets bitchy.
