Hofner guitars for me are the Rolls Royces among the
guitars.
During the music era, beginning in the 1960's, Hofner
lost from Fender and Gibson, eo.
I myself started to play in the 1960's with a Hofner Arch-
top Electric with the knobs at the bottom of the guitar.
After playing a few years in bands the neck got dama-
ged in falling downstairs, repair was possible, but never be good upwards to 100%.
A short time after it happened, I bought an other EKO Guitar, played
a few years, the guitar got sold and I stopped playing the music.
But as ever again, nostalgia got me and I bought a Epiphone by
Gibson stratocaster, started to practise again, love the fun, and after
so many years started searching for a Hofner (as I owned in the
1960's) or eventually a shop where I could buy one.
Finally I succeeded on internet in the UK at Musicground, Don-
caster. Still a beauty in case and at once playable.
Now these days I,ve started a Hofner collection, which is slowly
growing bigger. Some guitars are hard to get.
Internet is just al very large database (see links). I have burned all
to Cdr to, so I got my own database. There are many types build, but
the most astonishing guitar is the 6 string VIOLIN GUITAR
.
