| notes: Once in a while
older copies from famous guitar (or bass) models (especially from
the beat era) appear on the market and in some cases a label inside
says 'Angel B. Lumanog', what points to a luthier (or a group of
luthiers) from the Phillipines. These copies are said to be cheaply
made and they were also known as 'servicemen copies', what
illustrates the fact, that they were mainly sold to US forces during
their stay abroad, e.G. whilst the Vietnam War. The Lumanog Violin Bass appears in different versions, even with a brass logo (that never existed from Höfner) or pickup copies with a handmade steel stamped 'Hofner'. Last 3 pictures by kind permission of Eljay Guitarworks, Whittier CA, USA |
