PHOTOGRAPHY BY TOMMI POSA.

          

 

At this time, Hofner were having trouble sourcing white pearloid sheet in Germany. The bright-white pearloid pickguard and control console cover indicate that the material for this particular guitar was sourced in Japan.

Note the Japanese Gotah tuners that Hofner fitted to the 500/1 model for a short period.
