  • do these instruments have a serial-number?

    thx

  • Thanks, Dave. Very interesting. Two questions: Is the guitar strung with flatwounds? What ranking would you give the quality/craftsmanship?

  • @tmo7734 flats, always. The quality of the old Hofners from 62-63 is superb. You cannot compare to the newer ones. From 64 onwards, there was so much demand, quality suffered, and the specs changed too.

  • your amazing, that hofner is so beautiful, that would be so cool to have, you rock man

  • @MrVintagemusic Very cool video, thanks!

  • I have a refinished Late 60's model that I bought for cheap. it's amazing. It almost falls apart every time i play it. But It's one of the best studio basses I own (Aside from my trusty Fenders)

  • 4:17 - 4:43 I Saw Her Standing There.

  • 3:35 you look so happy to play ! u_u

  • Why does it sound so bright to me? I expected a more thuddy sound quality like Paul... must be the amplifier...

  • 0:21 - 0:25 wat?

  • @Pagra101 don't say that
