1964 Hofner Verithin

Introduced in 1960 in the UK and elsewhere shortly there after as the model 4574, the Hofner Verithin was created in response to the successful GibsonES-330 hollow thin electrics. The Verithin was, as it's name implies, very thin - measuring only 1-3/16" at its edge. This design element, along withthe full-hollow body construction was intended to make for a jazzy electric that fared well against feedback. Distributed by Selmer, the Verithin wasavailable in cherry red only, with laminated spruce top and curly maple back. The body is bound in multi-layered black and white strips, with theout edge white. The F holes, fingerboard and headstock are also bound in white. The guitar features Hofner's famous floral headstock inlays, blockpearl logo, and celluloid fingerboard markers. A curvy 5-ply pickguard, and über-cool german Bigsby look-alike vibrato tailpiece - in shiny chrome noless - adorn the top. "Staple" humbucking pickups, with volume and tone controls (but no switch) make some nice noise; although the bridge pickup isa bit weak. This guitar has had a professional neck reset and plays well. It's simply gorgeous - one of the best looking guitars in the store - and innear-mint condition too.
