c1952 HOFNER MODEL 464/S ARCHTOP GUITAR

 

COURTESY OF ARNE FROEHLING, GERMANY:

 

Note the lack of white binding around the fingerboard and the replaced but very attractive fret-markers.

 

 

 

 

      

The flared-top headstock, indicative that this is a very early 464/S model. The original wide-barrel tuners have been replaced with similar 3-on-a-plate type, but with plain spindles instead of the usual white plastic-surrounded version fitted to the 464 model.

 

        

Close up of the replacement fret-markers.
