Hoyer / Archtop / 1957 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale

Post second world war West German archtops have become renowned for their stylish looks and great value for money. Arnold Hoyer in particular produced some strikingly good looking guitars, often using cats eyes and lightning bolts rather than traditional F holes. This beautiful example was made in approximately 1957, and it was around this time when rock and roll was beginning to really take root in West Germany, paving the way for the scene the Beatles exploded into, in Hamburg in the 60's. Tonally this guitar sounds really clean and perfectly fitting for the blues and jazz music of the 50’s and 60’s. It also has a comfortable neck with very good action all the way along the fingerboard. The guitar’s in excellent condition, with no cracks or repairs, just the kind of nicks and dings you’d expect from a well played 50’s guitar.

Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.

I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.

You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.

I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.

If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.

I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
