Front Cover, Golden Hofner

1960 Selmer 'Guitars and Strings' catalogue, front cover. This catalogue for the UK market featured Selmer's guitar range at the turn of the decade - predominantly instruments built by German manufacturer Hofner. Pride of place goes to the finest guitar in the range, the very highly appointed Golden Hofner.

The close-up picture shows the short-lived 'Super Response' pickup, often referred to as Hofner Toaster pickups - more details of this on page 2.
