Höfner New President Archtop Jazz guitar from 2012, sunburst finish in good used condition
This guitar was handmade and signed in Germany by masterbuilder Thomas Stühlein and has the added bonus of having had the carved top signed by Dieter Fischer who headed up the Höfner workshop at the time. Comes with the original deluxe hard case and paperwork - the case used to have a hygrometer which is gone.
It's a high-quality and highly regarded modern German Archtop with a solid carved European spruce top and flamed maple (anigree) laminate back and sides.
Ebony, 9.5" radius fingerboard with 22 frets, a 645mm (25.4") scale and a nut width of 43.6mm (1 23/32 ") without inlays.
The 16" body has two F- holes an ebony bridge and tailpiece, a floating Höfner Diamond Gold neck pickup and a volume and tone control on the ebony pickguard. The bridge is beautifully hand-carved ebony.
The body and neck have black / white / black bindings and the traditional Höfner head has a lily and logo inlays and Schaller tuners.
Nitro-cellulose finish with some checking and a few small dings throughout. It's well set up, has a beautiful and loud acoustic tone and plays brilliantly plugged in. The frets have been crowned and levelled at some point and there are filing marks where someone rounded off the fret edges but this is not noticeable whilst playing, only on close inspection, which is why the guitar is set as good condition and not excellent.
These retailed for around $5500 when they were last available.
