In production from 1961 through 1976, the 172\/S is one of several Strat-style solid body electric guitar models that Hofner started experimenting with in the early ‘60s. While these models were often wrapped in a textured vinyl, the ‘shaded wood’ sunburst seen here reflects the premium-tiered iteration of this model.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing just 5lbs 13oz, tonewoods include an alder body, a maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.
