The Hofner Clubs were Hofner's answer to the Gibson Les Pauls from the mid 1950s and to 1970. At the time import restrictions for USA guitars meant these Hofners were used by budding British guitar heros instead of Gibsons. Initially there were three club models; the Club 40 with a single pickup the two pickup Club 50 and the Club 60 with its elaborate appointments inclusing flamed timbers, ebony fingerboard, and fancy inlays. All Club models had a small, semi-hollow, single cutaway body measuring 17.125" X 13" X 2.125".  The Club 70 appeared later in the 1960s but was something of an after thought.
