1960 brochure for Selmer, London. Monochrome. 9" x 5.5". Selmer were the UK distributors of the German Hofner range of guitars, with most models being specific to Selmer and the UK. This catalogue features numerous early electric guitars, basses, acoustic guitars and accessories spanning 32 pages. A number of the guitars listed are available both as acoustic and electric instruments: the Golden Hofner, Committee, President and Senator. Two Selmer models, the Triumph and Diplomat are also included, though both are actually Hofner-made.
