This early 1960s Hofner V3 looks quite rough - probably because of that huge beaten square trem cover that seems ripped off a Panzer tank.
But it has all the gear that looks cool on other models of the same time - the three toaster pickups, the perloid control plate, the rotary switch, the fret board inlays...

guitarz.blogspot.com This excessively cool ES-335 style Ovation Eclipse has an interesting story (it it's a true one). It belongs to the late 1960s Storms series - the Tornado model being the most famous of them - whose bodies were actually made...
