Jeremy Spencer's Hofner?

[joris]

Hi
I'm just wondering if anyone know what Hofner model Jeremy played,
this is the one I'm after, in the very beginning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IziwRthpORE&feature=relmfu

on his website he says that he played a Verythin, that don't look like a Verythin to me though... anyone that knows?

Well, a bandmate of mine (occasionally) plays a thin Hofner guitar.
See the attached photo.
I wonder if that's what Jeremy meant.

[THD]

The Hoffner Verithin was a double cut away guitar with -you guessed it a thin body ! The guitar |Jeremy is playing in the clip is single cut away with a deeper body- it looks like a jazz style guitar to me so the answer's no
(the thumbnail is a solid body guitar !? )

I suspect Jeremy can solve this one !

Well stone the crows and other Cockney exclamations !- apparently Hoffner made a single cutaway Verthyn model as well so that'll teach me not to post before I've done some research !

Jeremy, it is so awesome that you come to The Ledge, and help us share the history of FM.
Thank you, so much!:angel:

Thanks for your answers!

apparently Hoffner made a single cutaway Verthyn model as well

They did? Back then as well? I did some research as well, and I couldn't find anthing about any single cutaway Verythin back then, I know they do them now though...

I found this

A President, any thoughts?

Seems like you used more than one Hofner...
Because in the very beginning of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IziwRthpORE&feature=relmfu
you're playing a single cutaway Hofner.

Hope I don't confuse anyone with all these diffrent guitars...

My memory failed me there, and I will now have to update my website!:sorry: It was a Hofner blonde President with a single cutaway. circa 1960. After playing a couple of solid body electrics, I'd wanted to go back to a good cello body, and found this one to be just right. At that time (1970) it was 2nd hand and cheap because it was way out of vogue!

Very cool. I feel so special, Jeremy Spencer's answering my questions :)

Indeed, here we play It Hurts Me Too, with my bandmate playing the slide on the Hofner solid body, sounds great.
