Vintage 1953 Hofner President 1st Year Brunette Archtop Guitar OHSC
To the best of my knowledge, this is the earliest Hofner President serial number I have found. It’s from the first year of President guitars – 1953 – and has the original hard case (painted) included too. A true rarity, especially with that Straten tailpiece! According to the previous owner, the first owner he purchased it off got this in Germany in the 1950s on his way from Africa to the UK, and kept it for many decades. It’s totally original except the low-E machine head button, and in wonderful condition – truly. It’s one of the rarest Hofner guitars you will find. Don’t miss out! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.
