Here is a rare pre 1953 Hopf Archtop Guitar.  Picked this up from the Original owner, who bought it in Germany before moving to the States in 1955.  Note the early headstock shape and no trussrod.  It came with the original canvas gig bag.

The original Messenger guitar was developed 40 years ago in California by a small company named Musicraft and is now best known as the guitar of choice by Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad) in the early 1970’s. Messenger guitars were built in San Francisco and then Astoria, OR from 1967-1968.  Features an aluminum alloy tuning fork neck extending through the thin-line hollowbody. This model is a stereo guitar.  Messenger also made a guitar with a built-in fuzztone called a Tone-Messer, a bass guitar, and a line of large amplifiers.
