If I had the cash, I'd be all over this. Keep in mind the ridiculous prices on the Lennon Club 40s.

That is by far the lightest guitar I have ever held....I felt like I was going to crush it just holding it at the NAMM show.

I've seen a couple Hofner 'limited editions' that were for super high money....and then in the ensuing years they went for ridiculously low prices because there's just not that much demand.

Yeah, $4,000 is really extreme considering a Hofner Club 40 was kind of like a Squier Strat in the late 50's.

They're cool, quirky guitars, but they just don't seem practical and the prices are nuts.
