Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This little pickup is a genuine slice of vintage Höfner history. If you’re chasing that instantly recognizable, woody, and slightly quirky tone from the early ‘60s, especially for rockabilly, early rock, or vintage-inspired sounds, this is a surprisingly affordable way to get it. It's a focused pickup—don't expect massive modern bass tones, but it's killer for what it is.
