Höfner guitars in the 1990s

Through the 1990s, Karl Höfner GmbH & Co. KG and Boosey & Hawkes plc (musical instrument division) controlled the Höfner name, and 2 plants built it: Hofner Bubenreuth and Hofner Hagenau (Baiersdorf).^{[1, 2, 3, 4]}

3 eras touch the 1990s across 1 line. The version changed in 1994 and 1997. A guitar from either side of those years can be a different Höfner.
