Vintage 1961 Hofner V3 Solid 3-Pickup Tobacco Sunburst Electric Guitar *1960s*

I picked up this incredible guitar from the family of the original owner. Before Hofner did their Super Solid range, this was their solid body guitar range. To find one this early is really rare - and this one is original family owned from new! It has been exceptionally well looked after, with very little to report. The original pickups sound awesome. The previous owner messed about with his bridge a little bit so the whammy is pretty stiff but usable, and he replaced the surrounds with newer plastic as you can see. Otherwise original and in brilliant condition. It's a real piece of guitar history and a lovely guitar at that! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.
