Vintage guitars for sale: Hofner Verithin

The Verithin was Hofner's thinline semi-acoustic. Gibson started producing thinlines with its ES-335 in the late 1950s; soon to be followed by a number of Gibson (Es-330, ES-345, ES-355) and Epiphone (Casino, Sheraton) variants. These were massively popular in the mid 1960s, with every major guitar manufacturer producing a similar model. Fender produced the Coronado, Hagstrom the Viking, Guild the Starfire, and Hofner the Verithin. At a time when American guitars were very expensive in Europe, the German-built Verithin was very popular with the British beat groups of the mid-1960s.

1963 Vintage Hofner Verithin

High Wycombe, HP15***, UNITED KINGDOM

£772

Serial No 1592 dates this guitar to 1963 as shown on the Verithin Register This is an original German built Verithin model, imported by Selmer and then fitted with a Bigsby. This was fairly common practice at the time, apparently because the Bigsby models were not as easy to obtain. So the Bigsby unit is probably the same age as the guitar but I cannot guarantee that. Apart from that, there are no material modifications (such as dubious switches). The only parts that are not original are the nut... more
