THIS GUITAR IS OWNED BY MAX JUNGER, PYRAMID STRINGS, BUBENREUTH, GERMANY.

As with the Hofner 477 full-bodied archtop, a neck with a short heel was fitted to the 4577 model. It would seem that the neck-rake adjuter fitted to earlier 4577 examples was abandoned by the time this particular guitar was made.
