Now in Stock: Rare Hofner 496 Jumbo

Custom options/Upgrades/Remarks:

This is an early and very rare Höfner 496, a beautiful example in Flamed Maple and Spruce, with Cherry sunburst finish, believed to be around the introduction year 1963, although it doesn't have a serial number, the Höfner Logo & headstock inlay changes from year to to year, and the logo on this guitar is used around 1963. This is really a very nice guitar with Flame maple back, fine grain spruce top, 5 piece maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard, strange looking rosewood bridge, that is despite her 'strangeness' looking very authentic, beautiful pickguard with flower engraving, bound headstock with HOFNER logo and Flower motif inlay, Pearloid bound body, with multiple inlays, excellent playability and tone, it once had a soundhole pickup that is nor replaced by a LR Baggs i-beam Pickup, the action is wonderful, and the playability excellent, it really sounds very good like many of the old Höfner guitars do, and this is - i must repeat myself- a very rare musical piece of european Heritage. The guitar measures: 640mm (25. 1/5") scale length, 43mm(1 11/16") nut width and 55mm (2 1/8") stringspacing at the bridge. Comes with the - what might be- original case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
