As Eddie says , back in the 50's (before my time) but certainly in the early 60's (which was my time) Hofners were the standard objects of (male) teenage lust.

I so wanted a Hofner Committee ... never could afford one.

One of my school-mates had a Hofner Senator ...action was about 1/2" high at the twelfth ...we thought that's just the way it was, and accepted it. Changed days nowadays.
