Product Description

Vintage 1960 Hofner Club 50 Blonde Natural Hollow Guitar

Vintage 1960 Hofner Club 50 Blonde Natural Hollow Guitar

The ‘Club’ range was Hofner’s high-end range of guitars for the gigging musician. They are built to a high quality and have been favoured by many top artists, even today!

This particular guitar was built in 1960 – the 1st year of introducing the truss rod – and has been kept by the 2nd owner for the last 30 years in it’s original hard case.

Product Details

Body: Original natural blonde poly finish on a 3-piece maple back and sides / spruce top body.

Neck: C-shape maple neck & rosewood slab fingerboard with a radius of 12″, white dot inlays, classical sized frets (minimal wear), and a 42mm” plastic (replaced) nut.

Serial Number: 1717

Weight: 4.4lbs

Case: Original Green Lined

Cosmetic Inspection

This is in great condition, with nothing significant to report. The only thing worth mentioning are some cracks around the neck join. We’ve taken this to a local Luthier who has made these comments – “The cracks around the neck join do not affect the guitars playability. These are probably caused by deterioration of the lacquer due to age”. We would also add that it looks like the join has been previously sturdied underneath, as you can see in the pictures, where the body meets the neck.

However, please bear in mind this is 56+ years old so will not be in the exact condition it left the factory.

Originality

In our opinion, this is all original, including the hard case.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.

The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
