Description from the seller
Arnold Hoyer Archtop – rare hybrid model with original Framus flip-up mute & palm tremolo (circa 1950s)
This beautiful Arnold Hoyer archtop from the 1950s is in very good, fully playable original condition.
It is equipped with an original Framus flip-up mute and palm tremolo – an exceedingly rare combination that is hardly found today.
The tremolo works perfectly and allows a gentle vibrato effect controlled by the heel of the hand.
The body is solid, without cracks, without repairs, and without a sunken top.
The guitar is fully functional, well set up, and easy to play, with a warm, clear archtop tone.
The tuners are original, smooth-running, and hold the tuning reliably.
The rosewood fingerboard shows the typical block inlays with a red 12th fret, an unmistakable identifying feature of Arnold Hoyer guitars from this era.
The finish is original and in very good condition, with no cracks or damage – only light, age-appropriate wear is visible.
This guitar combines the best of two German traditional manufacturers: the archtop body and neck by Arnold Hoyer with the innovative Framus hardware – consisting of the flip-up mute and palm tremolo system.
A combination that is extremely rare and makes the instrument a unique collectible of German guitar craftsmanship.
