The Jazzica Custom was one of Höfner’s finest archtop models and was produced in relatively small numbers, making these increasingly difficult to find today.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003esolid carved spruce top, figured maple back and sides and a one-piece maple neck, with ebony used for the fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece and pickguard. The combination of traditional archtop construction and Höfner’s own design touches gives the Jazzica a character that is quite different from the more familiar American archtops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAcoustically, it has a wonderfully warm and resonant voice, with plenty of clarity and projection, while the floating Höfner humbucker produces the smooth, rounded jazz tones you'd expect when plugged in. The 25¼\" scale and comfortable neck also make it a very enjoyable guitar to play, and the 24-fret fingerboard provides unusually good access to the higher frets. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent condition, with remarkably little evidence of its age.
