SPANISH-BUILT (KELLER) HOFNER MODEL T-21 (500/1) BASS GUITAR

PIHER POT CODE: 39S

 

COURTESY OF SCOTT NEWELL, OHIO, USA:



 

 

 

"Super" Type 511 pickups are fitted, together with the typically Spanish-made white-faced control console with black slide switches. The grain pattern in the spruce body top appears to be more dominant and wider-spaced than usual on German-made 500/1 basses.

 

 

 

Note that there is no "Fabricado en Espana" on the back of this particular bass.

 

 

 

          

Note the plastic "Hofner" headstock logo, which appears to be common to most Spanish-made Hofners. The tuners are replacement modern-day Hofner units. Note also the three-piece neck construction, and also the typical Keller multiple black & white plastic laminates of the nut.

 

 

 

The codes on the Piher-made pots read "250K LIN 39S".
