This 13-inch-wide, just under 1 /14 inch-deep, electric solid body guitar weighs 7.00 lbs. Solid alder body with a two-tone gold and coral 'hammered' finish with matching headstock. On the top of the body (bass side) is the Höfner decal in gold with black trim. Two-piece maple neck with a beech center strip and a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches, a scale length of 24 1/2 inches and a wonderful thick 'baseball-bat' profile. 'Slab' rosewood fretboard with a three-layer black over white plastic nut, a 'zero' and 22 original medium frets and inlaid 'graduated' pearl dot position markers. Headstock face with "Höfner" decal in gold with black trim. Three-in-a-line open-back strip tuners with oval white plastic buttons. Serial number "213" stamped in blind on the back of the headstock. Specific 'pear' shaped plywood pickguard with 'hammered' coral finish secured by three screws. Two Höfner single-coil, black top 'bakelite' pickups with rosewood sides and outputs of 5.89k and 6.02k. Two rotary volume controls and three two-way tone-selector slider switches mounted on the pickguard. The two 'Preh' potentiometers are stamped "518" & "169" (December 1958 and April 1959). Original Hofner 'teacup' control knobs with securing grub screws. Egmond (one-way) vibrato bridge on height-adjustable metal base and Höfner basic 'trapeze' tailpiece secured to lower edge by two pins and one screw. A few small surface marks (mainly on the edges) are all that prevent this guitar from being near mint. Conservatively, this 'uber' rare little guitar is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition and is complete with the two original brown leather strap fasteners. Housed in the original four-latch, shaped black hardshell case with green felt lining (8.00). Unlike most of the early Höfner guitars which did not have a truss-rod, this one has a perfectly straight neck with very low action and great playability - and also a unique 'rock 'n roll' sound. This guitar was previously owned by guitarist and author Gordon Giltrap who has signed the back of the headstock in gold marker "Gordon Giltrap 94." (This actual guitar is featured with several color photographs, in the book by Giltrap and Marten. The Hofner Guitar - A History, on pp. 44/45).

Amazing player and musician, actually when Phil's back we'll miss Jared a lot, hopefully we can get some Phil-Jared jams in the future, that would've Awesome
Jared kills it again! Keep it up brother!
I'm curious why Hofner didn't mount the controls onto the teardrop pick guard directly? Maybe that is addressed in the book?
Jared is an awesome host, I just wish you guys had some band playing too. That was my favourite part :(
Another great review! As a guitarist who doesn't use a pick (hate the fucking things) you are a
That guitar is rad!
You just got yourself a brandnew subscriber ! 😘
great guitar
Controls described wrong.. The Solo/Rhythm switch is the tone control, then the two on and off switches for "treble" and "bass" are simply on/off switches for each pickup.
