- Höfner Alpha - One Of Their Less Celebrated Guitars
guitarz.blogspot.com: The name Höfner conjures up images in the mind's eye of such classic German-made guitars as the Höfner "Beatle" violin bass, the Höfner Verithin, and the Höfner President, amongst others. I doubt that the first model ever...
- Left-handed Höfner 4578 (ambassador)
guitarz.blogspot.com Again, there've been so many Höfner models with so many variations over time that they are difficult to identify with certainty, but I have enough elements to say it's a mid-1960s 4578 - the continental equivalent to...
- 1960s Höfner Verithin
guitarz.blogspot.com I know we've looked at vintage Höfner Verithins before, but it's such a simple beautiful guitar that it deserves another shot. Can't offer much more actually, since I couldn't identify the model - there've been...
- Sexy In Red 1965 Höfner Verithin 4574
guitarz.blogspot.com Close your eyes if you don't like vintage german archtop guitars (I'd be sorry for you), here is another Höfner, a 1965 Verithin 4574 - it took me a while to identify it since the 4574 has been changing its features from...
- 1960s Hofner V3
guitarz.blogspot.com: 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...

Unidentified Höfner Verithin
guitarz.blogspot.com
Despite my efforts - I must have checked 100 guitar models on the inevitable vintagehofner.co.uk website - I couldn't identify this Höfner Verithin archtop guitar from the late 1960s. It has plenty of highly recognisable elements - the 3 Nova-Sonic 511 humbuckers, the oval control plate, the round single cutaway, the mother-of-toilet-seat contoured pickguard, the tremolo, the bicolor headstock - plus some less current, like the knobs mounted directly on the top instead of on an arched control plate (I guess that the flowers have been added later by an owner, they are really not höfnery), but I couldn't find the combination of all this in a identifiable model... It's frustrating but not surprising, Höfner released so many different models over the last 6 decades that it's not the first time this happens to me...
