The ‘63 Hopf Saturns were only manufactured for a few years 1963 – 65, so they are considered quite rare. Very few came with solid spruce blond tops. This was an expensive option so there are not many of these. Our guitar comes from an old US collection where she lived for over 30 years. She is near mint overall and functions perfectly. Her tuners are like new as is her “Ever-straight” patented multi laminate neck. Straight neck with low action throughout! Her frets are excellent with very little wear. Her tremolo system is a work of art!

She still has her original DIN jack and is “virgin” untouched, not converted for a ¼” plug! A true collector’s dream!

She has some very minor wear and her strap peg was relocated at some time¼” over (the screw probably became loose).

Killer60’s sound and awesome retro design!

She is the iconic symbol of Hamburg, Germany’s Star Club.

Originally she came with a brown “gunny bag” type carry case that did not offer much protection. We have been unable to locate it, but if we do, we will send it along with guitar.

We are including a top quality, plush lined Stag hard case to keep her in. She is definitely one of the finest examples you will ever find of this rare guitar!

Price is firm.
Thanks for looking!
