Höfner Violin Guitar Archtop guitar – Germany – 1966

TYPE

Electric Hollow Body Archtop guitar

FEATURES

The guitar has the same body as the 500/1, and a bolt-on neck with similar ornamentation to the Verithin like fret markers and vine leaf headstock inlay.

INFORMATION

All Selmer-distributed examples were fitted with twin pickups, and with three simple rotary controls and a three way pickup selector – most of its European/US market cousin, the Hofner Model 459, had active electrics fitted. As with the Club 70, the Violin was not a great success, with only 100 to 200 being sold during its production period in 1966 and 1967.
