Lately I was thinking: "OK, no more vintage German guitars - people will think that we're just a niche blog or that I'm obsessed or something, and there are so many wonderful guitars all over the world..." Then BAM!, I discovered this magnificent Hopf/Glassl Allround that looks perfectly preserved (in better state than I feel myself, actually, though I'm younger!) You're probably familiar now with Hopf's nice schlaggitarren, Gustav Glassl was a renowned German luthier who sometimes collaborated in the 1950s/1960s with big companies for high end instruments.
I love the chromed vintage single coils, the strangely shaped florentine cutaway, of course the one-of-its-kind tremolo, and you couldn't have not noticed its very cool Saturn headstock - a classic Hopf design...
If this guitar was black, I would have to go and rob a bank and buy it! Well I'd have to wait until monday anyway...
