The Chancellor is the new flagship of Höfner’s jazz guitar range. Our Master luthiers have put all their years of experience and craftsmanship into creating this gem. With its 17“ body width the Chancellor carries on where the legendary ‘Golden Höfner’ of the 60s left off. Furthermore, thanks to its sophisticated construction, it meets all the demands of today’s professional guitarists – and yet remains timeless.

Only the finest tonewoods, which are naturally airdried and seasoned for many years, are selected. We use narrow-grained German spruce for the allsolid top and European flamed maple for the fullysolid back and sides. Each top and back is individually graduated and handcarved.

The 17" fully solid maple body guarantees the same loud, sonorous tone which made the 'Golden Hofner' famous. Selected narrow-grained, carved solid spruce top, Höfner "Diamond" Floating pick-up. Natural high gloss finish (-N), or traditional shellac violin varnish (-V). Incl. Höfner Deluxe case.
