Still.It plays and sounds nice.has "vintage vibe', and the damage seems to be mainly cosmetic at this point. They do have electrics.and thats where they start to move up into better build and tuners etc.Nice guitar for that price really.but Im wondering if id be better off putting THAT cash toward a Guild archtop in the future, as these are nice but not nearly made as well as the Guilds. They sold for $250- $300, and a nice 12 string going for about the same. I have found a few that have sold on ebay, similiar to better condition than this one with cool vintage cases. Hoyer/Lindberg archtop jazz guitar, model Blues 1955 Rodebald Hoyer (no relation to the other manufacturer Arnold Hoyer) was a luthier from East Germany. THANKS GEOGUY.That actually seems to be closer to what I think too, Judging by the build quality, pearloid plastic, and hardware on this model, and the '09 guitar price guide is certainly an excelent reference. ![]()
