Hofner President Thinline model electric guitar, made in Germany circa 1959.

This is the same model and year as George Harrison's, as used by him in the early Quarrymen days and fairly recently sold at Sotheby's (albeit, for a lot more money than this one).

A beautiful classic Hofner, it benefits from a recent cleanly-executed neck reset and as such is playing fantastically.

All original save for the bridge, which is a nice repro.
