| Additional info |
This guitar was the answer from Höfner on the
much more expensive Fender Stratocaster. Mark's very first guitar was a
Höfner V2
Super Solid which he got from his father
for his 14th birthday. It costed 50
UK Pounds at that time. In the documentary
"The
story of the guitar" (2008), you can see Mark in British
Grove Studios with various of his guitars, including this Höfner guitar.
This was his very first guitar, nice to see that he still has it! It seems he gave this guitar away to his brother David in the early years and got it back in 2007. See also some reports about an auction for this guitar here and here. The guitar is featured on some promotional pictures for the Kill to get crimson album and is pictured on front of the tourbook. Johnny Walker also used this guitar in advertisements, mentioning the wrong building year. Click here and here. |
