This Hofner features an original Hofner floating pickup, first introduced in 1955. It bears the small Hofner logo on the body which was added in 1956 and which is also found on the ’57 Senators. The woods are particularly well chosen, the flamed maple is a real beauty. The fingerboard is rosewood with mother-of-pearl inlays. The compensator tailpiece is in good condition and the guitar keeps tuning well. It is a stable and robust instrument. Easy to play and repair free. In modern hard case.
