The Fête’s Featured Guitars
The Höfner 500/1 violin bass was designed by Walter Höfner and launched at the Frankfurt Music Messe in 1956. It has since gone on to become one of the most recognisable electric bass guitars in the music world in terms of both looks and sound. The Höfner 500/1 Vintage 63 model has a slim profile neck, and the white celluloid neck binding distinguishes the V63 from the other German made Höfner violin basses.
This stylish, professional guitar features redesigned Gretsch Dual-Coil humbucking pickups, adjustable bridge, chrome-plated die-cast tuners, and wicked cool colors! It is crafted with a laminated maple body, 24-3/4″ rosewood fretboard on maple neck, and sweet Gretsch appointments like G-Arrow knobs, Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, and knurled strap knobs.
Purchased new by Evan Hansen in 1999, and sporting a few quirks and flourishes that make it a one-of-a-kind instrument. Its sunburst top is made of solid Sitka spruce, but its back and sides are made of solid Indian rosewood. Also unlike the standard model, this J-45 is adorned with abalone mother-of-pearl inlays; note especially the soundhole rosette, the “Flying Eagle” headstock design, Gibson logo, and triple-diamond fretboard markers. As a final touch, all of the hardware is gold.
The Goal is Soul! Bono and Gretsch recently collaborated on this updated version of the iconic green Gretsch guitar known as the Irish Falcon. Used extensively on U2’s 2005 Vertigo tour, the G6136I incorporates classic Gretsch Falcon specs, including an arched laminated maple body with multiple gold sparkle bindings, two-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard, High Sensitive FilterTron pickups, Gretsch Cadillac “G” tailpiece and lustrous Evergreen finish.

One of only four “Folk Era” banjos custom made by the Wildwood Banjo Company in Arcata, California in 1986 for Folk Era Productions, these banjos had eight frets between the nut and the fifth-string tuning peg, three ferts more than most five-string banjos. They also had open backs without resonators allowing for a softer, quieter sound than normally associated with a banjo. The addition of the three additional frets was the invention of Pete Seeger, who had become frustrated with the limitations of the shorter neck. Seeger took his invention to the Vega Banjo Company of Boston, Massachusetts which then produced “Pete Seeger” model long-neck banjos. Although the folk boom of the 60’s has faded, acoustic guitars and banjos have remained the starter instruments, if not the primary instruments of high school and college students. Although the demand for guitars, with their greater versatility, is much greater than for banjos, almost all banjo makers offer, or will custom build, a long-neck model.
