Vintage 1954 Hofner President acoustic Jazz guitar Brunette

In Good-Very Good condition.

One of the early pre truss-rod examples with smaller headstock.

• 1954 Höfner President – Brunette Finish

  A fine example of Höfner’s craftsmanship from the golden era of European archtops. This 1954 Höfner President in Brunette finish embodies the elegance and tone that made the model a staple for jazz and dance‑band guitarists of the 1950s.

  • Model & Year: Höfner President, 1954
  • Finish: Brunette (original)
  • Upgrades: Keystone Schaller tuners for improved stability
  • Condition: Very good overall – bright, clear sound, excellent neck profile, frets in great shape
  • Playability: Comfortable action, responsive tone, ready for stage or studio use

  This instrument offers the best of both worlds: authentic vintage character with modern reliability where it counts. Whether you’re a collector seeking a genuine mid‑century Höfner or a player looking for a distinctive jazz archtop, this President delivers.

• This instrument plays well, sounds bright and percussive.
• Note some areas of celluloid binding shows some shrinkage and delaminating around the side bouts and soft cutaway areas.. Given some free time ( which is usually hand to find ) I will address and repair / reglue these areas prior to selling so that the guitar will be in tope order ready to go to it’s new owner.
• Comes with an unusual 1950’s or 60’s robust and reliable hardcase.
