I found this on a vintage Hofner Guitar site. I really like his style. How cool is this?:

Interesting guitar in a couple of respects. The bridge is like a classical version of my old ES-335's adjustable bridge. I didn't see any mention on that site about the sound quality which would be interesting to know. The top wood and bracing are also of interest, not to mention the use of the zero fret. I like the back wood -- ribbon mahogany or sapele? Also is it a 'concert' guitar being that it's a classical or was this Hofner's concert grade instrument?

This was a concert grade classical. I've been wanting an older Hofner for a long time, but this is the only model in which I've seen this saddle. I'd be interested in playing it to see what effect it has on the compensation.

Your link leads to a book or something. Can you double check it please? I'd be interested in seeing it.
