I inherited this Hofner Senator archtop guitar from my father. He bought it in 1962 and looked after it meticulously and it had a professional set up so the action is low and very enjoyable to play. I am selling it as it's a guitar definitely more suited to jazz. The guitar's Hofner label provides Senator Reg No. 2730. The ebony fascia headstock has type 1 individual machine heads and inlaid pearl decoration. It has a compensator tailpiece, a mock tortoiseshell scratchplate, a maple laminated ... more

1959 Hofner senator with original hard shell case The guitar is in very good condition for its age Some nice laquer crackle all over the body, the old senator aged quite well All the electrics are working fine The neck although without a trussrod is straight and comes with a low, fast action.
The frets are ok and have a lot of life left

OHV is offering our only accoustic fat body committee
For 60 years of age it is in remarkable condition. There are some scratches, in fact quite a few all around the body. Cosmetic and with the nicely darkened laquer they give the instrnent this wonderfull patina. Around the side srew of the pick guard is a little touched up area and on the backside bottom edge where the ornamentel inlay ends is a tiny patch of dopped out laquer. The neck has no trussrod and is pretty chunky, but as the... more

1967 Selmer branded ?Arizona?? guitar, made by Hofner in West Germany. There??s varnish checking, but no structural issues with the wood at all. No cracks, no splits, no separation. Back and sides are laminate, and I think the top is too, but I??m not 100% on that. The top is a thing of beauty in any case, with a sunburst that??s better executed than the one on an Atkin forty three I once owned, which cost five times as much. The body is X-braced. I??ve been buying and selling acoustic guitars ... more

Une guitare atypique. Bonne qualité avec table en épicéa massif et dos / éclisses en acajou. Belles incrustations de poupée, un manche en cinq pièces et une coupe de corps. Cette une guitare particulière est à cordes d'acier, bien que Hofner ait initialement prévu qu'elle soit en nylon cordée, d'où le chevalet / cordier de style classique. Une version non en coupe a également été produit.... more

In the first picture we have the social scale of the Hofners distributed by Selmer in the UK (Square Dance-Congress-Senator-President-Committee) that I will be putting on sale little by little. In fact, the first one is missing, called Four Dance, which was manufactured for a short time and was replaced by this one called Square Dance (remaining photos) that we are dealing with today This modest Square Dance from 1954 is in very good condition for its age, the only change is that we replaced ... more

Hofner acoustic model 495 western jumbo flattop 1957 / 58 in excellent condition. Attached is a description from the expert Steve Russell: A rather unusual guitar, whit the five-piece nek of the contemporary President model, including Lily of the Valley headstock inlays, but mounten on a 20" long by 16" wide flattop body, with narrow waist and circular soundhole. Hofner themselves seem to have been pretty confused with this model, as generally it was produced with nylon strings but it would ... more

Hofner model 491 from 1968. Spruce top and mahogany sides and back, I believe other woods were also used over the years. Long scale 64, 5 cm.

In excellent cosmetic condition for its age. No case

Hofner 514 1970s Classical Guitar with original case.


Absolutely stunning 1970s classical guitar with brand new D'Addario strings

Apart from some very minor strum marks, the guitar is in immaculate condition. Lovely flamed back and sides and a flamed spruce top. I have photographed the minor strum marks by the sound hole - the other 'marks' visible on the top are the flaming spruce and are obviously part of the quality of the wood.

Hofner Senator 1960 in a natural maple finish / Serial No. 10 442
The good the bad and the ugly
It's a well-loved guitar but needs some attention, hence the low price, compared to others on here It's been modified for a lefty but wouldn't take much (new nut) to change it back The neck has been reset and re fretted (by a professional luthier) and it plays ok (great sound!) but could do with setting up and new strings There's plenty of signs of wear, scratches, dings and cracked varnish... more

It has had a Seymour Duncan model SH2N jazz neck pick up fitted. It is in very nice condition and comes in a new de luxe jumbo hardshell case.... more

This is one of Hofner's Master Guitars, and therefore of a very high quality built to compete directly with Martin and Gibson from the USA
The 497 has a solid spruce top, with back and sides of Rosewood, I am presuming Brazilian Rosewood which was freely available in the 50's and still being used by Martin until the late 60's. It is too stunning to be anything else! Also very hard to photograph as it is so glossy as you can see in the photos
The upper and back edges of the body are laced... more

Hofner Senator - 1960 natural maple finish
A seriously gorgeous piece of musical history, just awesome At some point there's bound to be a need for repair on an old (vintage) guitar I had a professional reset the neck and set up the action, so it now plays beautifully
According to serial numbers, this is one of 2098 made in 1960 Possibly rarer by the fact it is a natural maple finish (there were several different finish styles), rather than the sunburst Express24 next working day ... more
