Hello, new member here.

Anyone play a Hofner acoustic ? I got a 1965 Hofner 450 archtop earlier this year and just can`t put it down. Have put my Washburn back in the case.

Just curious if there was any Hofner interest here. I`ll attempt to

put a pic in here .....

How loud is that guitar compared to a more standard acoustic w/ a round soundhole?

Nice guitar...the fretboard may need some cleaning/oiling.

For an old archtop it`s got quite a bit of volume. As for the neck ... it`s the lighting & flash effect ... neck is clean as a bell , action is great.

i have a 1962 congress. it's pretty good, the laquer on the neck is chipping off though, and theres a bit of wear on the fretboard. and i think the glue is separating on the neck, it's made of three pieces of wood. i will post photos later

I have a Hofner Verithin (1963 I think) any suggestions on where to find a guide to it's value as I'm thinking of selling it.

I live in England so it's probably not that practical sales-wise.

Damn, there seem to be soooo many more Hofners available for sale in England instead of here.

European guitars.

The American imports were very expensive, relatively more so than now.
