Hofner President thinline.This is a very nice thinline bodied Hofner President with ''brunette'' finish and made in Germany c.1964.The body, soundholes, neck and headstock are fully bound, and apart from a few small marks andscratches on the top of the body is in a good condition - the back is in two pieces matched in a mirror imageand is unmarked.Apart from the fact that the original pickups have been replaced by DiMarzios it is entirely original.I have known this guitar for some years and it has always had these pickups fitted so this change wasobviously carried out quite some time ago. There are two volume and two tone controls with a master volumenear the single cutaway as well as a three-way pickup selector switch.The tailpiece is original and the bridge is a tune-o-matic on a wooden base all original as far as I am aware.The neck is straight, with rosewood fingerboard and triple dot markers. The headstock has lovely inlays, the''Hofner'' logo and the three on a side tuners.It is a lovely guitar and its a great player.
