Description

Vintage Hofner Classical guitar, Made in Germany circa 1970s, there is no soundhole label but from research I believe it is model 515 or 515h ( the 515h was the highly polished version and this guitar is gloss finish so I guess its that). It was one of the lower end guitars in Hofner's 'Concert' range and featured a Spruce top with flamed Maple back and sides, a soundhole rosette and black binding to the top.The action is reasonable for a classical, about 4mm at the 12th fret bass side, not low but in the tolerance for a nylon string guitar and these older guitars often had a higher action than modern standards but please bear this in mind when purchasing. There is a bit of saddle showing to lower should you wish. Its generally in good condition, but also used and loved.There are small indents and marks in places, scuffs and scrapes, there is a chip in the treble edge of the nut but the high E string still seats propery in its slot. The strings are new and the fretboard oiled at the time of listing. The strings may require further stretching in once received. Its a good guitar, an affordable vintage, playable with lightly roadworn looks. No case but will be well packaged and boxed for shipping.
