COURTESY OF MATTEO, ITALY:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

The only significant scars on the guitar, caused by.........

 

 

.........the fitting of a Hofner Type 536 Pickup assembly by a previous owner. The adjustment screw heads under the neck pickup have abraded the solid spruce top on this guitar. It is a point worth noting by those archtop owners who may also be considering fitting such a pickup assembly to their guitar!
