It's a beautiful classic guitar, and like usually my heart melts for an archtop with double florentine cutaways - but I'm right-handed so this baby is not for me.

- Hofner 4577 Thinline
guitarz.blogspot.com This Hofner 4577 - the thinline version of the 477 hollow-body model, introduced in 1967 - has at least two features that make it much desirable: a florentine cutaway and a Hofner tremelo, both things that I love on a semi-hollow....
