I'm not too sure what to study first: the guitar, the Buddy Holly poster, or....

 

Note the one-piece back. Hofner usually put a two-piece book-matched back onto the President, but they did have one or two short periods when a single piece was used. Bodies made around March/April 1959 seems to have been one of those periods. See the President Detail Spreadsheet on this website.
