Hohner Contessa acoustic Dreadnaught in Atlanta GA area for $150

This seller (or reseller) is offering a 40+ year old West German made Honer Contessa acoustic. You will see these identified as Framus and Hofners on occasion but I am pretty sure that Contessa was a trademarked label of the Hohner company for musical items sold here in the United States all throughout the 1960's and early 1970's.

It certainly does resemble a Framus Texan so it may have been made in the same town or factory as the Framus line. The arched backs on these are a dead giveaway of their West German origin. The pickguards on these often bubble as they shrink over time thought this one appears to be okay.

All original old guitar with a few imperfections in appearance, but it sure is a good guitar to play. 50's or 60's vintage. This guitar has many unique features. The top is flat but the back is arched. You must see and play to appreciate. Call 770-***-**** for more information. No emails or texts.

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
