Hopf archtop + Hopf-Ideal Pickup 1950's
Guitar archtop from the mid-50s, built with solid spruce top (carved) sides and solid maple back. 65 cm long scale, rosewood fretboard, maple neck. Original tuners
It has been revised and its condition is very good and allows a perfect fit, very comfortable to play, 1.5 mms on the 12 fret.
It is equipped with an ideal pickup from the first 60, completely original and works perfectly without any noise or buzz and with a deep and balanced sound. It has been reconditioned to plug a female jack that comes out the end of the guitar and also serves to hook the strap.
The pickup has a volume control and is also original, it works perfectly and without noise, or buzzing. Natural and balanced sound on all strings
Its condition is very good, the varnish presents the normal patina for its age, the instrument has an old repair on one side that is barely appreciated and that appears firm and without any problem, the action is very low and has a great sound full of nuances.
HOPF: Family of instrument makers is the Klingenthal violin maker, Caspar Hopf, who was born in 1669 as a member of the Graslitzer violin makers. Born Caspar Hobe (1655-1716), the son of mining engineer Christoph Hobe, who moved from Hamburg to Vogtland in 1650. But only the namesake son of Caspar Hopf (1650-1711) coined the trademark "Hopf". Since then, craftsmanship has always passed from father to son. Only in the 19th century this family tradition was interrupted due to the early death of August Hermann Hopf (1859-1884). But Ernst Max Hopf (1882-1956) learned the profession of string maker and founded the company E. Max Hopf in Zwota in Klingenthal in 1906. His son Willy Hopf (1906-1990) took over the company in 1932 and, together with his brother Wolfgang, joined the company as an instrument building city.
Until 1948, the Hopf family lived in the Klingenthal / Markneukirchen area in Saxony. For political reasons, the family relocated before the founding of the GDR and the imminent nationalization of the company in Hess's work
