Happy Jack Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 [size=5][b]Höfner Club 60 guitar / 1958 / £650[/b][/size] [attachment=23611:Club_60_...Front__1.JPG] Piccies at [url="http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=38pY0B...JNMc3CSjw%3D%3D"]http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=38pY0B...JNMc3CSjw%3D%3D[/url] Information at [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofner/archtops/arch9.html"]http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofner/archtops/arch9.html[/url] Enough mother-of-pearl to make the toilet seat an endangered species, frets you could use as a loft ladder, yup this is THE spirit of 1950's British rock'n'roll. Every GB rocker owned a Höfner Club at some point in their early career (Lennon had a Club 40, Harrison had a Club 50, etc. etc.) and they remain brilliant guitars to play. Forget shredding, forget Hendrix licks, just go with Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly and this guitar will take you straight back to 1958. This example has clearly been a player for all its 50 years, and it's "craggy" in a Clint Eastwood sort of way. It's all original and plays like a dream. Don't be fooled by the Les Paul looks. This is a hollow-body guitar and weighs next to nothing. The original (yes, original) hard case is included. This fine instrument is available to inspect and play in Chiswick, London W4.

Happy Jack Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'll probably list this on eBay tonight (might be out tonight) but open to sensible offers in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
