Guys, those of you looking for that thin, narrow neck need to check out the Icon series. I am trying to find out if the '63 500/1 also has the thin neck. I believe it was made in Germany.
I read something somewhere about this and I'm trying to find out more about it.
It could also be the '66 500/1 also German made.
If you know which one it is please post it.
Most Hofners are to chunky for my liking.
I bought a Ignition series Hofner and I sent it back because of this.
I also bought a Contemporary Series that I just received and I will be selling it for the same reason.
I know there is a model that's better than the Icon Series that has the thin, narrow neck.
It might be the '66 Re-Issue.
I'm searching so if you know, please let me know which one it is.
If you like thin and narrow necks, check out the Icon Series.
I have and love it.
It doesn't have a bound neck and the one I'm looking for does I believe.
Thanks guys
