Sold!
This is the Model 449, or as it was called in the UK, the Model "Congress". This guitar was manufactured by the german luthier "Höfner", who was one of the most known luthiers at that time. They are known worldwide for their high quality standarts and excellent design. Höfner was germanys biggest manufacturer of guitars furing the golden age of german guitar craftsmanship between the 50s and the 80s. This particular guitar was maufactured in 1966!
The guitar is in a stunnig condition. Its almost completly scratchless and has only very few sings of wear. The condition can be seen in the pictures. The mechanics work perfectly and aren't rusted or dried out at all. They hold the tune perfectly. The guitar has a nice red sunburst, wich is very rare. Almost all models are in a normal yellow-brownish sunburst. The "Höfner" logo on the headstock is 3-dimensional. The guitar got checked by a luthier and the fretboard got oiled. The strings are new too! The neck is deadstraight and the action nice and low, so it is very nice to play. The sound is stunning and very jazzy.
The guitar can be played immediatly.
I ship with worldwide, with DHL, with insurance and very well packed. The insurance only goes up to 500€. If you need a higher insurance, please contact me :-)
If you have any questions left, or if you need more pictured, feel free to ask :-)

The guitar was delivered today.
A big disappointment.
The neck unstable, action so high that it's unplayable, electrics don't work as in amp input socket is non-existent.
Add mentioned it had been checked by a luthier.
I am at a loss as to what to do.
