I just accidentally ran across your Hoffman Guitar video. Thanks for sharing your story. It just so happens that I am the the original owner of the identical Dreadnought #133 built one month before yours (Feb 1977). I bought mine in Minneapolis in March of 1977 for my birthday. I love my Hoffman!

Nice review of one of the best luthiers in the country, I absolutely love my Hoffman LOO. He has or had his first made guitar a dread hanging in his shop, got to play it, sounded sweet and full. Glad you got er back in one piece.

I own a Hoffman Dread too. Blew me away too. Thanks for the review and story

I worked on an assembly line at the Ford Plant in St. Paul MN for an entire summer so I could save up and buy one of Charlie's guitars in 1979. I own #178... Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce top, Abalone inlay, and Rosewood fingerboard. I have a pretty large collection of Martins, Taylors, Collins, Guilds, and Gibsons...NONE of them come close to that Hoffman. Your Mahogany Hoffman sounds amazing, so bright and clear. You are lucky to own it.

The Hoffman shop is fixing my guitar now I have a Martin authentic 1941
