Vintage 1965 Hofner Senator Thinline E1 Brunette Guitar 4.1lbs

Vintage 1965 Hofner Senator Thinline E1 Brunette Guitar 4.1lbs

Thinline E1 Senator in a lovely brunette finish. Beautiful German goodness in exceptional condition. We have acquired this, along with a few other Hofners, from a guy who looked after all his guitars with great pride! The original sunburst finish has very little crazing, unlike most of this age, and has only a few small blemishes around the back of the neck. The neck is extremely sturdy and holds true due to a previous pin, as you can see. There also seems to be a small filled hole next to the diamond pickup. We cannot see anything that has been changed on this, including the tortoise shell pickguard.

Weight: 4.1lbs

Serial: 1814

Please note, for all you musicians and collectors outside of Europe, this guitar will need a CITES certificate to accompany the export of this guitar, due to inclusion of the restricted rosewood material. This application process can only be started once purchased, costs £59 on top of the price of the guitar, and can add on up to 15 days to the posting off process. Please get in touch for more information before purchasing.

At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come along and have a play on this through one of our vintage amplifiers!

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.
