Hofner
In 1955 Walter Höfner, a creative businessman as well as a violin and guitar maker, invented an electrically amplified semi-acoustic bass. The distinctive 500/1 bass was launched at the 1956 Frankfurt Music Fair and subsequently rose to fame under a different name.In 1961 Paul McCartney bought his first Höfner bass in a music shop in Hamburg. Paul’s ‘Beatle Bass’ can be heard on many of the Beatles‘ most famous songs and still accompanies him on stage and in the studio to this day.
A new chapter of Höfner history began in 1997 when the company moved to a new production facility near the village of Hagenau. Millions of Euros have since been invested in state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly production technologies. Today, Höfner continues to build fine quality, hand-crafted hollow-body and bass guitars for new generations of players and collectors.
