General
Who wouldn't want to wrap their hands around the Hofner Green Line CS7 Relic? The vintage, played-in looks of this electro-acoustic classical guitar have been created using a special ageing process that the German master builders are keeping close to their chest. What we can tell you is that the top is made from solid spruce AA complimented by a maple and sides. The wood naturally looks good and while the maturation process makes it look decades old, it really is a brand new instrument.
The Hofner Green Line CS7 Relic: German Quality
The remarkable playing comfort offered by the Hofner Green Line CS7 Relic is sustained by the unusually narrow 45mm nut width that reduces the need to stretch so much for the sake of certain chords and phrases, making playing noticeably more pleasurable. The tonal colour that this guitar can produce is just as remarkable since the spruce supports a particular brightness that will only get richer with age while the maple ensures distinct presence.
The Hofner Green Line CS7 Relic: Outstanding Preamplification
The acoustic foundation sound of this guitar is processed by an intelligent Mi-Si Active Pickup system. One of the most obvious features of this system is that it's rechargeable; takes just one minute to fully charge and then allows for amplified play for up to 16 hours. And, since the sound of the CS7 is so accurately reproduced, no EQ is actually needed, so it's not even included and, while the response is fast, the feedback is so minimal it's barely worth mentioning and you're simply left with a guitar that works beautifully with your playing dynamics.
