Default Any Guitar Players/Collectors out there?
Hello All,

Aside from collecting militaria, my other passion is for guitars & stringed instruments. If there is further interest regarding this topic, I can add more details. I would enjoy hearing from fellow addicts! Cheers,

Walt

Like everyone else ( pretty well ) in Liverpool in the 1960`s I was in a group and at one stage I did have a small collection of guitars , all long gone now.


I wish now that I had kept my Hofner President when I see the prices they make.

Thank you Peter. Hofner has produced some fantastic guitars. I have a scarce 1958 Hofner 4550 large body (pics attached), which was recently restored. The neck required full removal & reattachment. She's now a real beauty. Cheers,

Walt

Shame you never continued, you may well have been at Glastonbury over the weekend.
