Overview

Classic Hofner looks and sound for the die-hard Beatle fan.

The Hofner Limited Edition 1962 Ed Sullivan Show Electric Violin bass is based off of the legendary performance of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. That performance inspired so many musicians to pick up an instrument which is why Hofner decided to pay homage with this limited edition tribute.

It's based on the original 1962 Hofner model with a few special exceptions like gold hardware, an Ed Sullivan Show logo on the pickguard and on back of the headstock, and it's limited to a hand-numbered run of 64 instruments. You also get a signed copy of Andy Babiuk's Beatles Gear Book.

Includes hardshell case and Hofner leather strap.
