1961 4574

The earliest 4574 that I have on record.
A really beautiful example in russet.
Has been modified over the years with new tuners, incorrect knobs,
and a strange tremolo that I have only seen once before on another 4574, not a Hofner item.
Carries a serial number on the top of the headstock, 3390,
almost certainly a number inscribed by the Van Wouw company.
The pot codes are 40 and 41

1960/61 4574

Another very early guitar

Lovely deep cherry red finish and the classic art deco tailpiece.
The toaster pickups and the rectangular panel are perfect for the period
