Collector's item: a Höfner Verithin-Standard - HCT-Brunette + BIGSBY.. The Höfner-Verithin (4574 named in EU), was a very popular model offered throughout the 1960's and into the 70's. The name was used because the body depth was just 1.25" (3 com) making it the thinnest arch top available . Although nearly all were finished in a cherry red colour, there are some rare Blonde and Brunette tobacco), ones like this item: the Höfner-Verithin-Brunette HCT+ BRIGSBY.. In 1995 there was a buy-out at Höfner. In the years since, there has been a resurgence throughout Höfner with expansion into overseas manufacturing and the development of new guitar-models. A complete new range of electric guitars designed HCT, was development incorporating many designs that reflect heritage models from the 1950's and 1960's. The HCT model range, like this item, has proved incredibly popular. Actually, the HCT-Verithinb is one of the most successful models for Höfner in recent years. This item has also the rare BRIGSBY-tremelo, that was a popular option between 1963-1965, particularly with the stylem of music played back in the early 1960's (f.i.: Hank Marvin of The Shadows played it). The BIGSBY units appear to have initially been made under license by Seller in the UK and fitted by them, followed later in Germany by Höfner. This guitar is in a perfect condition: no buds no scratches! It comes with a soft guitar gig-bag. It is described in the 'Höfner 125-Anniversitay Book' at page 48 (see photo). #exclusivemusic
