Description

Meet your ultimate travel companion — the Hofner Shorty Deluxe. Compact, stylish, and ready to play anywhere, this upgraded version of the classic Shorty keeps the same full-scale length for comfortable playability while remaining incredibly portable. Whether you're jamming on the couch, backstage, or in the air, it’s built for convenience without compromising performance.

What sets the Shorty Deluxe apart is its dual humbucker pickups, delivering a broader tonal palette with added warmth, power, and clarity. Topped off with a redesigned headstock that channels Hofner’s iconic vintage aesthetic, this guitar doesn’t just sound great — it looks the part too.

Compact enough to fit in most airline overhead bins and bundled with a rugged, padded Hofner gig bag, the Shorty Deluxe is the perfect grab-and-go guitar for players on the move.
