Here for sale we have a Hofner Committee E2 Hollow Body Electric Guitar in Brunette finish. Made in Germany in 1964, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Laminated Spruce top, Birdseye Maple back and sides, a 5-piece Maple​/​Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Marbled binding, Van Ghent Enclosed tuners, a Hofner Trapeze tailpiece, and original Hofner "Nova-Sonic" pickups. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. The 5-piece Maple​/​Mahogany neck plays very well, with the 'Slenda-Nek' profile feeling rather substantial by today's standards, yet remaining slim enough for articulate playing. The profile might be described as a 'C' shape which is well suited to both chordal and melodic playing styles. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, providing a tactile and durable playing surface across the register. Its 7.25" radius is a vintage-accurate feature which ensures that tricky chord voicings and changes are as comfortable as possible. Amplified, the hollow-body construction of this instrument produces an open and airy tone, with the naturally aged wood of the body resonating beautifully for a rich and distinctive sound which cannot be easily imitated. There is a strong, dark low end which adds a depth and character to the sound, and is well complemented by the open and clear midrange. The top end is unpronounced in the neck position, producing a sound that is perfect for jazzy lead lines. There is ample brightness in the bridge position however, and with a little bit of drive there is a very convincing rock rhythm or blues sound available.
