Melancholy improv on a vintage Hofner archtop. Guitar is maple laminate. Recent refret and no issues. Low action plays great. Looking for Model and approximate value. Any input appreciated.

  • @dass0137 Not sure what it is, but with new strings it helps for a while.

  • @rectify2003 maybe loose bridge?

  • Nice playing, I have recently restrung my Hofner, but seems really hard to tune.

  • very very nice guitar and playing.

  • @BattyCuss Good for bottleneck, then?

  • Its a 450s.

  • My Hofner President (1958) has a neck like a telegraph pole, and an action you could drive a 'bus under. Very hard to play. Because it doesn't have a truss rod, there's no way to lower the action either. But with good strings the tone is superb... Just difficult to play!

  • Some of the bright harp like sound is because this excellent player is plucking the strings with his fingernails, giving it a "ching" sound.
