This 1950s Arnold Hoyer Archtop Herr im Frack is in good playable condition, and aside from a repaired crack in the heel and a repaired crack in the top next to the bass side of the fingerboard tag, is in good physical condition. These instruments were very important as quality guitars were in short supply during the long recovery from the war. The Arnold Hoyer archtop Herr im Frack, or ‘Gentleman in Tails’ was introduced in the late 1940s and was popular throughout the 1950s as a professional quality guitar. They settled in Tennelohe, near Erlanger, which like Schonbach was a major center for musical instrument building.


With the end of the Second World War, the Hoyer family had to leave Schonbach and moved into Germany.

The Hoyer guitar name dates to 1874, with Franz Hoyer opening a shop in Schonbach, a town in what is now the Czech Republic and produced all manner of popular instruments including lutes, zithers and guitars.
