As is shown by pricing of other Hofner 491s on Reverb, these guitars are the best acoustics that Hofner ever built. Made famous by Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Hofner 491s are known for their bell like tone. Here's a great video on the guitar
Originally purchased from Musikhaus Barth in Stuttgart Germany (photo on back of headstock), I've owned this guitar for more than 30 years, but it's time to start selling my collection. There are signs of finish checking and dings on the back of the neck from instrument stands (shown on pic) and a bit of the letter "r" in the raised headstock was bumped off (shown in pic), but the guitar is in great shape and sounds amazing. The pick guard was replaced at some time because of glue, but everything else is original.
Comes with a like-new Gator case.
