1955 Hofner President Masterclass Guitar

Here is a beautiful Hofner President with very high grade woods. Stunning guitar overall. Comes with a newer hardshell case. Check out our website for more photos and other important info!

Condition: The guitar is pretty clean considering it’s 70 years old! Light dings and scratches all around. Nothing too bad. Still in very good plus condition. Action is low and it plays well. The bridge is not original and not the same radius so it would benefit from a correct bridge. It had a floating pickup at one point and the end pin jack is still present should you want to add one again. These didn’t have adjustable truss rods but the neck only has pretty minimal relief even with the flat wounds. Upgraded German Schaller tuners.

Neck measurements at 1st/9th frets: 0.91”/1.07”

Weight: 4.9 lbs.

Fast WORLDWIDE Shipping Available! Please contact us for more details.
