#Arnold hoyer guitar serial number registration
Terms & Conditions This catalogue, as amended by any posted notices during the sale, together with the purchaser's registration statement, is Guernsey's and the Consigner's entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the property listed herein. Serial number: none Top: Spruce, natural finish Back and sides: Maple Neck: Five-ply (maple, mahogany, beech, mahogany, maple) Fretboard: Ebonized Frets: 21 Bridge/tailpiece: Ebony, chrome-plated Hoyer center tine trapeze Tuners: Nickel-plated Kluson Deluxe with metal buttons. This example lacks a serial number, but the Kluson Deluxe tuners appear to be from the mid 1950s, which helps narrow down its date of manufacture. Many of this guitar’s features are similar to those of Germany’s other well-known archtop company, Hofner, particularly the five-ply laminated neck. Hoyer is best known for its rather radical looking archtop models with elongated cat’s eye- or lightning bolt-shaped soundholes.ĭuring Hoyer’s early days, however, their designs were more traditional, as seen on this Spezial model. The Hoyer company’s beginnings reach back to 1874, but the company only started making guitars in 1948 after Arnold Hoyer reorganized the company in 1945. Many guitar collectors think that they’ve seen everything, but after eyeing this rare early post-war Hoyer archtop they may be inspired to repeat Bachman-Tuner Overdrive guitarist and Hoyer collector Randy Bachman’s immortal phrase, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”.
