The BeatlesA brief historical note before we tell you all about this amazingly cool guitar… With the huge impact of the Beatles and other beat groups in Britain and Europe in the early sixties, suddenly everyone wanted to play guitar and put a band together, and everyone wanted Hofner guitars because that's what the Beatles played. Demand was so great that suddenly Hofner were unable to keep up production if they were to continue using their traditional and time-consuming paint and lacquer process, hence the much more time-efficient introduction of leatherette cladding. It was a quick fix that only lasted until the company was able to remedy their production demand dilemma, so there isn't a huge number of these ace guitars around – but those that are are worth every cent!
