Hofner Dance Band Guitar circa 1955

by Lance West
(Bradford West Yorks' UK)

Any idea of my hofner dance band guitar ? treble clef
inlays on the headstock and at the base of the fret board
plain white solid inlays on the fretboard two tone dark
sunburst finish. Wonderful tone. electric missing due to
corrosion. chip of paint at the back of the fingerboard
No cello holes only what might be termed country and western long slinky cut and lined with ivory sound
holes. really attractive and much cooler than cello
sound holes. Any ideas without a picture submission
Bought in Singapore circa 1956.

Hi, Lance--

The Blue Book does not list a Dance Band" model. I could find no mention of that name on the internet.
