If I were a leftie, I'd be tempted. Yum.
How about a Sea Green top on a leftie Höfner?

That is beautiful. I think I'd prefer it to be all one color though. Either SG or the color of the back...Pick one and then go with it!
The sub 5lb weight sure does sound nice too...

I think all the German ones come in just under five pounds.
I got to see this one before it was assembled. The local fellow who helps me with electronic glitches was tasked by Cream City with putting it together. I almost started handing him my wallet, but then he told me it was a leftie. Damn! I could probably go back through the chain to the guy somewhere here in Wisconsin who does the custom Höfner finishes for the distributors and get a righty built, but, I don't play my Ricks enough, let alone three or four Höfners. But man, I like that color.
