Hi. You are viewing my 1959 Hofner Congress Archtop Sunburst Guitar Serial Number 7836. I met and fell in love with her 20+ years ago and have played her at acoustic sessions over the years. 

The photos show the scars from 65 years of road wear and nothing is hidden. I fitted aftermarket tuners as the originals were missing and the frets have been dressed. If you require any further photos please ask and I will send more with pleasure.

It has a Hofner Compensator Tailpiece and I notice there is one advertised on this site for £150 and a Hofner bridge for £25 , the total of which isn’t too far from the starting price!!  

The reason for selling is that I have other acoustics and am thinning my collection.  I would love her to go to a good home, restored and be played.

It wouldn’t take too much to restore her and, should you require any further details, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

I’m am near Wetherby, West Yorkshire and it would be COLLECTION ONLY.

Many thanks for looking.

Kind Regards. Pete
