Founded in 1887 in Schönbach by master violin maker Karl Höfner in a simple workshop, Höfner Guitars developed over its more than 120-year history into a true classic. With a reputation for quality and innovation, Höfner soon became the largest German manufacturer of bowed and plucked instruments. Since the 1950s Höfner jazz guitars have been an integral part of the clubs and concert halls of the European jazz scene.
The Beatle Bass
In 1956 Walter Höfner invented a semi-acoustic bass that could be electrically amplified, unaware that he had created a cult bass. Paul McCartney bought his first Höfner "Beatle Bass" in 1961 in Hamburg and turned it into a legend.
Höfner today
In 1997 a new chapter in Höfner's company history began with the move to a new and modern production site in Hagenau. Today Höfner delivers high-quality classical guitars, jazz guitars and basses for guitarists and bassists with professional standards and the desire to play such an extraordinary instrument that it could soon become a sought-after collector's item.
