HOFNER HAWAIIAN GUITAR

SERIAL No: 793

POT DATE: 278

 

COURTESY OF RENÉ DE BONDT, BELGIUM:

 

 

 

 

This guitar is unusual due to the fact that the Type 510 pickup has been fitted independently of the bridge/tailpiece unit, and the volume/tone pots are also not fitted to the bridge/tailpiece plate.

 

 

 

Pot Code 278 indicates a date of 1968 (or 1958!)

 

Is this a Selmer UK Serial Number or a Van Wauw Netherlands number?
