I liked the solid body look and the non-standard Hofner pickup and bridge. It's pretty light too (under 10 lb).
The bass doesn't keep a good tune and as I played the bass line from the Eagles' "Hotel California" with it I had to keep calibrating the strings to get a good tuning. So it's light and decent for practice sessions but no good for frontline performances.

Capable but not for frontline performance.
