Catalog page detailing the Hofner Verithin - with its dual Florentine cutaway, this model is also referred to as the Hofner Verithin 66. The text incorrectly suggests the guitar pictured has a Bigsby Vibrato - the layout/text is an update from older catalog pages - and although the image has changed, this part of the text did not. Check out the Verithin 66 with Bigsby on page 4 of the 1965/1966 Selmer catalog.
Note the newer control layout shown here: a three way pickup selector switch, volume control for each pickup, and a master tone control - replacing the two volume / two tone as shown in the aformentioned 1965/66 catalog.
A new improved version of the Verithin designed to give the dramatic effect so popular today. Look at these fabulous features! Now fitted with two Hofner high-efficiency bar pick-ups (see page 42) for unequalled performance. Elegant yet functional "Slenda-nek" – designed for easy playing and improved good looks, individual machine heads, adjustable Micro-matic bridge and smooth-action mother-of-pearl inlaid fretboard. Available in glorious cherry red finish with cambered rosewood fingerboard and nickel-silver frets.
