About
From The Höfner setlist – The Daily Beatle (webgrafikk.com):
In 2006, Paul was presented with Serial # 1 of Höfner’s 500/1 50th Anniversary Model. This model was produced by Höfner as a limited run of 150 basses to commemorate the 50 years over which the 500/1 Bass Guitar has been produced. It was modelled on Paul’s first Höfner 500/1 Bass, and features a solid carved spruce top. Paul has never been seen to play it in concert.

The 50th Anniversary Model is being produced by Hofner as a limited run of 150 basses to commemorate the 50 years over which the 500/1 Bass Guitar has been produced. It has been modelled on Paul’s first Hofner “Cavern” 500/1 Bass, and features a solid carved spruce top. A certificate of authenticity comes with each bass.
