*Upgraded Pro Model of the Ignition Beatle Bass Limited Edition

We have taken the rich genetic DNA from its renowned relatives and gave it to the new HI-500/1 series. This model has inherited the tailpiece, control panel and the traditional zero fret from the Contemporary series and the acoustical attributes from the legendary handcrafted original 500/1 version. Both, the 500/1 and the HI-500/1 series have a similar constructed body and therefore similar tone characteristics. All this for an attractive price that enables everyone the chance to play and create the original Höfner sound.
Chrome-plated hardware and special HI-500/1 series sunburst finish.

This new version includes vintage "Tea Cup" knobs and flatwound strings. Here's your chance to get the classic Hofner look and sound,
