Rare and Collectable - Committee Acoustic Guitar - Brunette 1960/61

Top of the regular range of Hofner archtops, the Committee was designed to impress. The Committee sported the over-large "frondose" headstock (this one) up to 1963, when this was replaced by a President size headstock, but still retaining the impressive "tulip" style mother of pearl inlays in the facia. Birds eye maple veneer was almost exclusively used for the body back and sides, with carved solid spruce body tops, although these seem to have been replaced with laminated tops during the 1960's,
The Committee retained its single Venetian (rounded) body cutaway throughout its production span, which ended around about 1969.
The neck is made of maple and mahogany in a five-part construction, and is supported by an ebony fingerboard; Splendid inlays tell the player the locations.
The characteristic 'high-end' frondose headstock signifies this to be one of Hofners better guitars of the time.
Machine heads are the original good quality open-geared type, fitted with classy but fragile leaf/flower shaped plastic buttons.
Hofner is in good condition but does show minor surface blemishes and imperfections (Lacquer cracks) . but are very age appropriate, details as listed are believed to be correct, (I am not an expert, but learning quickly).
Note: all guitar components are original and no replacements have been added.
Happy to hand delivery within UK given value and age of guitar, but will courier to worldwide destinations.
