Hofner 1965 Vintage 4570e Hollow Body Electric Guitar NEAR MINT - W. GERMANY

Gorgeous vintage 1965 wide-body semi-hollow Höfner was made in West Germany and is a special instrument. It has been remarkably preserved over the years and shows little to no signs of its age. 

A beautiful medium sunburst, a pearloid inlay fretboard and headstock make this a work of art. Every bit of this guitar is original. 

The pickups were rewired about five years ago (see pictures) and the slot holding the high "e" string in the vibrato tailpiece has been laser welded by an expert jeweler to repair a tiny separation (see photo for detail). No other work has been done on the guitar.

Signature teacup knobs and control panel.  Date stamp on the underside of the control panel indicates the guitar was finished in the fourteenth week of 1965 (see photo).

The neck is perfectly straight and the action is low and fast. It is currently strung with a new set of D'Addario roundwound 10s. 

Guitar Dimensions:  Length 41" + Body Length 20" + Body Depth 3.25"

Rich sound. The instrument is ideal for jazz and that vintage 1960s rock sound. 

Guitar will be shipped carefully in a newer, non-original case via FedEx.  To ensure safe delivery, Adult Signature Required.

Thanks for looking!
