However some modern parts can fit vintage Höfner guitars and basses, but we do not guarantee this. We do not have vintage parts for vintage guitars. Some information about serial numbers is available - click here. The USA distributors in the 60s and 70s used their own serial number systems and we do not have information about these. The exceptions are those guitars sold by Selmer in the UK which will (probably) have a number stamped into the back of the headstock and guitars sold by Van Wouw in the Netherlands. Most old Höfners do not have serial numbers. The rarer guitars from the 70s, 80s are harder to deal with as parts are now hard to find. Guitars/Basses from the 1960s are generally easier to restore as many parts are available either using new items or vintage items. However it can be a big project and you need to be patient, do research, talk to others and be prepared to modify parts if necessary. Restoring a vintage Höfner is possible and many people have achieved remarkable results from often battered old guitars. Have you been to the Vintage Hofner website, run independently, from the UK?
