500/6
HOFNER MODEL 500/6 Based on the Hofner Model 4600 6-string semi, and therefore featuring a very thin 1.25" depth body with twin double cutaways. Unlike the true Verithin models however, this guitar has curved body edges, and hence no body binding. Usual finish is a striking black/red two tone sunburst, but a three tone black/red/yellow sunburst option was also available. Bolt-on neck. Two pickups with either four rotary controls and no pickup selector switch, or later three rotary controls and a three way pickup selector switch on the top bout.
Produced between 1966 and 1970.
