Hofner Senator Acoustic Guitar
Hofner Senator Archtop Acoustic Jazz guitar This Hofner Senator is an early one. Overall, itās in good condition, with some honest marks and scrapes. Itās loud and has a lovely sound. The binding is all in good condition and the guitar doesnāt have any splits. Someone has fitted a neck pickup (Now removed) in the past and the small screw holes can be seen at the bottom of the neck (see photos). This doesn't affect the guitar at all. If you decided to fit a neck pickup yourself you should be able to use the existing holes. The lacquer finish has some minor checking as youād expect for a guitar with the original finish. The headstock is in good shape. The tuners have been upgraded with a set of Grover "Deluxe" tuners. The five triple-dot neck markers are all there and the Rosewood fingerboard is in good condition. As can be seen from the photos it still has the original Hofner compensator tail piece. The serial number of the guitar is which can be seen through one the "F" holes. The action at the 12th fret is about 2.5 to 3mm. Good for a guitar thatās nearly 60 years old. Overall a beautiful guitar, a great player, and a genuine piece of history, with a powerful acoustic tone, low action and when fitted with a pickup will give that original early 60s sound when amplified. I am sorry to sell it but a I feel such a quality vintage instrument should belong to someone who can spend more time than me actually playing it. This guitar would maybe suit a jazz player looking for a reasonable priced archtop with a big mellow sound or someone who appreciates a quality vintage guitar, again at a reasonable price. No hard case, but I will include a "Ritter" soft gig bag. Read More
