1965 Hofner Senator Vintage Guitar Restoration | Episode 01
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2024
- I recently found a treasure on Marketplace - a Hofner Senator, an archtop guitar known for its warm, resonant sound and elegant design. But, time hasn't been kind to it. Now, it's time to restore its former glory.
Episode 02 is now available here: • 1965 Hofner Senator Vi...

💡 Why This Project?
Archtop guitars, with their distinctive sound and curves, hold a special place in the world of music. Restoring a Hofner Senator not only preserves this legacy but also offers a hands-on lesson in the craftsmanship and care that these instruments deserve.

Ha we will have to make you Tarintino,s cleaner !! Dont know why but i really enjoyed that 🦇
hahaha The Wolf, love it! Cheers!
Been a sub for the past 3 or 4 restorations, what would be interesting is if you show the camera the label of what you are squirting on the guitar so we can see what you are using. I would like to try and restore and old guitar myself and would be helpful.
Thanks for the sub man. Noted, I’ll give you some more detail about the products in part 2. ✌️
She’s a beauty!
Keep an eye out for part 2. 👍
Looks great! Glad to see you’re still kicking ass.
Cheers bro! Appreciate the support. 🤘🏼
Good on you for this. I did much the same thing on a similar vintage Univox thinline.
Thanks man. Part 2 will be up next week. 👍
Love your videos, about to start part 2!
Awesome thanks man, appreciate the support. 🤘🏼👍
That body looks pristine. And I’d love more of the background music. Awesome bro!?
Cheers bro. The rest is coming. That song is at the end of this video: ruclips.net/video/7RqiS81QC7M/видео.htmlsi=yK_ZBZ_DhnExMMxT
Such a beautiful find. Very nice!
A lot more work to go with the neck and electronics but will be worth it. The body is in great condition. 👍
Looks like it'll be a nice one, shame the video ended so soon!
Thanks man. Next part will be out next week. Keep an eye out. 🤘🏼
Just finished a Höfner senator restoration including removing the aluminium H bar installing a truss rod in its place. Same problems . Lumpy fingerboard, neck re set. It came with no pick up, bridge, compensator tailpiece pick guard or tuners. I had the neck clamped to a solid piece of aluminium square for three months to straighten the neck. It will never have super low action but it can be played easily again. Sourcing parts was very costly. Definitely not an economic proposition.
Yep, I hear you. I did the same with my other one which doesn’t have a trust rod but I managed to get it really playable. Not a super valuable guitar but I have a thing for them as it’s what my Dad owned. ✌️
Really enjoy your videos. I’m just starting to get into guitar mods. Cheers 🥃
Thanks for the comment man I appreciate it. I see you have a channel, I'll check it out later after work.
@@RisingSunGuitarMods just bought a 70’s Global S.D. Carlee!
Like a mirror. So glossy you need sunglasses just to look at it!😎
Cheers man. It’s coming pretty nice.
I was hoping to see the restoration of the neck
Subscribe and hit the bell, neck is coming next week. 👍
@@RisingSunGuitarMods 👌
No sabía que el tornillo de sujeción de la correa atravesaba la cepa del mástil hasta atornillarse en la cepa del cuerpo? Era lo primero que tenía que haber quitado...
If you listen to what I was saying the bolt was lodged in, I removed the inner nut but the bolt was stuck.
He'll get on the neck and electronics soon
Yep, this one comes together nicely. 👍
Dovetail with 1 bolt seems like a considerable engineering flaw . set the neck right remove the awful placed strap button and forget it .
Yea my other Hofner doesn’t have the bolt/screw. I was too unsure not to put it back in. I cleaned the joint up good and made a nice tight fit, but there just isn’t much there holding it in so I was worried it would come apart without the screw. Seams all good now and the strap button doesn’t bother me. 🤘🏼
@@RisingSunGuitarMods yes sir . people noticed the change in the 3 bolt CBS fenders in the 70's . Hofner can be a decent guitar but never going to be Gibson fender or PRS . all my resto's i fix any antiquated design flaws . they didn't know back then . great work
Cleaning yes, restoration no.
Part 2 is coming man, restoring is a good amount of cleaning so yea the body just needed the finish bought back to life. I’d say a cut and polish is a little more than just a clean.
@@RisingSunGuitarMods Ah, I see. Thx.
