HOFNER 12 STRING FLATTOPS — FACT FILE
Hofner flattop guitars are not at all well documented. This fact file has therefore been compiled with the help of old catalogues, and with a little intuition gained from half noticing many old Hofner flattops knocking about over the years. The information provided below should therefore not be treated as gospel so as usual, if you can supply further or more accurate information, please get in touch.
Generally, it is the archtops that Hofner are most noted for — I am afraid that the six and twelve string flattops seem to be very much the unloved runt of the litter. However, lets see what we can do to generate some interest in them!
UNITED KINGDOM GUITARS DISTRIBUTED BY SELMER
I am aware of only two basic models supplied to the UK, although these appeared to have many detail changes over the years, particularly with regard to scratchplate shape and headstock ornamentation.
Hofner Country and Western 12 String — Selmer Model No. 5156 (Acoustic) and No. 5157 (Electro-Acoustic)
These guitars were introduced into the Selmer catalogue around 1964, and stayed there until the end of Selmer’s Hofner dealership. They continued to be sold in acoustic format in the UK right into the 1980’s, and hence many examples are still to be found.
- Body Size: 20.5″ long x 16.25″ lower bout x 4.75 depth»
Solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides
Single white binding to top and bottom of body
Rosewood fingerboard, unbound, set with single dot fret markers
Some headstocks fitted with raised white plastic Hofner logo and «dagger» motif on black plastic facia; others are plain black without motif and with Hofner transfer/decal logo.
Early guitars have open six-on-a-plate tuners; later guitars fitted with individual enclosed tuners.
Hofner Arizona 12 String — Selmer Model No. 5153
This was the budget 12 string offered as an alternative to the C & W above. Maybe introduced a year or so after the C&W, it was still in the Selmer 1972 catalogue, but not in the Bell’s 1974/75 catalogue.
- Body Size: 18.25 long x 15″ lower bout x 4 deep»
Laminated(?) spruce top and laminated maple back and sides
No binding to body and neck
Rosewood fingerboard, set with single dot fret markers
Plain black plastic headstock facia with Hofner transfer/decal logo
- Selmer List Price in 1966: 37gns
Selmer List Price in 1972: £42.00

HOFNER MAIN CATALOGUE GUITARS
It would appear that Hofner offered the rest of the world a line of four models of 12 string flattop guitars over a period spanning the 1960’s. 70’s and 80’s. These ranged from the budget Model 490, through the mid-range 4900 and 492 models, up to the lavish Model 499. Electro-acoustic versions of each model were available. As with the Selmer distributed instruments, such details as scratch plate shapes and soundhole decoration changed on individual models throughout the years.

The HOFNER SPANISH-MADE 12-STRING GUITAR:
Some time ago, I had my attention drawn to a strange Hofner 12-String model, not featured above, by both Ron Mellor of Cheshire and by Timothy Burgess in the USA. This had a slotted headstock. Click HERE to view pictures and details of this guitar. There has recently been a similar 12-string to the ones above auctioned on Ebay. This was in excellent condition, and had a label on the rear body whoich stated that it had been made in Spain. (See Hofner Guitars Made in Spain Factfile) So. now we know!
Also click HERE to view Armand Valeta’s c1966 Slotted-Head Electric 12-String Guitar, and HERE to view Juanjo Llopiz Joga’s acoustic version.
As far as dating this model is concerned, because Ron’s guitar is fitted with a pickup built into the fingerboard, I can only assume that the model was produced in the 1960’s — the soundhole type pickup apparently being introduced in the early 1970’s.

Hofner 500/1 — легендарный звук Пола Маккартни
Легендарная гитара Hofner 500/1 была построена Вальтером Хёфнером и предсталена впервые на выставке во Франкфурте в 1956 году. Не только дизайн гитары столь узнаваемый для публики производит потрясающее впечатление, но и знакомое звучание знаменитого битловского баса. Представленная гитара Hofner 500/1 «Cavern» является точной репликой первого виолин баса Hofner Пола Маккартни, известного всем инструмента, ставшего настоящей классикой. Как и 50 лет назад, эту гитару строят в мастерских Hofner в Hagenau (Германия) лучшие мастера вручную, даже струны для этого инструмента, те самые Flatwound плетутся тем же способом из того же материала и воспроизводят оригинальный звук 60-х годов.
Название «Cavern» гитара носит в честь знаменитого «The Cavern Club» в Ливерпуле, ставшего местом встречи знаменитой четверки. В 1960 году на сцене клуба выступал Ринго Стар в составе «Rory Storm and the Hurricanes», еще до того, как в середине 1961 года Битлз в качестве представителей «Merseybeat» засияли в лучах рампы на сцене «The Cavern Club»
Свою первую гитару Hofner 500/1, специально изготовленную для левши, Пол Маккартни приобрел в Гамбурге в 1961 году.
Пол: «Так или иначе, спустя некоторое время я решил обзавестись гитарой. В конце концов, в центре Гамбурга я нашем хороший магазинчик, рядом с большим универмагом. Я увидел эту бас-гитару в витрине, это была басс-гитара «Хофнер» в форме скрипки. Я решил, что выглядит она довольно хорошо. Поскольку я левша, она привлекла меня симметричностью, благодаря чему ее можно было перевернуть под левую руку. Переворачивая ее под левую руку, ты выглядел не так глупо. Если бы гитара была с «рогом», она плохо бы выглядела, «рог» был бы не на том месте. Так что, «скрипка» мне подходила. Также мне понравилась ее легкость».
Энди Бабюк (автор книги «Аппаратура Битлз»): «Решение своей проблемы Маккартни нашел в центре Гамбурга в магазине «Стейнвей» — бас «Хофнер 500/1» (Hofner 500/1 bass) немецкого производства, благодаря своей форме имеющий название «бас-скрипка».
Пол: «Я помню, что у них имелся этот бас, который стоил весьма дешево. Я не мог позволить себе «Фендер». «Фендеры» даже тогда, кажется, стоили около 100 фунтов».
Журнал «Бас-Гитарист»: Подавляющее большинство американских и английских басистов в то время играло на «Фендерах».
Пол: «Я не мог себе позволить «Фендер», который как был, так и остается лучшим инструментом. Но для меня определяющим моментом была цена. Они [гитары «Фендер»] даже тогда стоили порядка 100 фунтов-стерлингов. Когда Джон и Джордж покупали свои гитары, сначала фирмы «Гретч», а потом и «Рикенбэккер», они были готовы влезть в долги и брать кредиты. Постоянно балансировали на краю, не имея достаточно средств. Но в меня было вбито, что этого делать нельзя, и я просто не мог рискнуть. Я думал, что если я на это пойду, мир рухнет. Все, что я мог действительно позволить себе — это инструмент в районе 30 фунтов. Так что я купил дешевую гитару. Это была хорошая цена, так или иначе, а мы зарабатывали соответствующие деньги».

Some of our catalogue covers from the 1920s to the 1990s.
Höfner was established in 1887 by Karl Höfner who was followed by two of his sons and his grandaughter in developing the company into a world leading instrument manufacturer. Today we are the largest manufacturer of stringed instruments in Western Europe exporting products throughout the world through our extensive dealer network. We also produce a large range of classical and acoustic guitars and an exciting range of electric guitars.
We are located at Hagenau, Bavaria, Germany and also at Beijing, China. Our workshops employ many highly skilled craftsmen who hand build many of our product lines. We employ traditional methods together with cutting edge technology in order to produce world class instruments and set ourselves extremely high quality standards. We may be one of the largest in Europe but we are still small enough to be individual and we think that matters. We have no production lines and no robots, but we do have workshops. Yes we have machinery, but we design and build most of that ourselves. We are proud that everyone at Höfner knows one another, that we all work together, we all solve problems together and we develop our products together. We are proud that our staff stay with us for years, often for a lifetime. Hofner has always been a family affair and remains so today.
Our electric guitars are used by some of the most discerning professional players who demand quality, tone and playability. Our Violin Bass has become one of the world’s iconic guitars and remains, after 60 years, as the preferred bass guitar for many, from those starting out to seasoned professionals. Our electric guitar product line has expanded in recent years to accomodate those who aspire to owning a classic brand but at an affordable price. We have achieved this through our CT (‘Contemporary’) line of instruments, built using classic Höfner design and quality but offered at a price point that enables everyone to experience the thrill of playing a Höfner guitar.
