Win a Hoyer Arrow Flying V Guitar

February 14th, 2011 Steve No comments

For this weeks Music Connections Friday Freebie enter to win a Hoyer Arrow Deluxe flying V style guitar worth $1,119.00!

The Hoyer Arrow Deluxe is a reissue of the Hoyer Arrow, originally launched at the end of the 1970’s. After V-Shaped models became more popular in the 70s, Hoyer started to produce an Arrow model called the 5069. Initially the guitar was manufactured with a set neck, but was replaced at the end of the 1970’s with a 3-piece through neck version. A short time later production of the set neck version was discontinued. At the same time the Arrow replaced the model 5069. A later variation was the “Super 82” with Korina body and binding at the top. Both models were very popular and were offered in many variations and pickup configurations.

The new 2010 Hoyer Arrow Deluxe is available in Black and White and builds upon the Hoyer legacy featuring through neck construction (3-Ply Mahogany & Maple), 24.75” scale, Mahogany body, Ebony fingerboard, bone nut, 22 medium frets, gold hardware, Hoyer Tuners with pearl buttons, Hoyer L Bridge, string through body construction, Hoyer Humbucker HHB-100 B (splittable) and Hoyer Humbucker HHB-100 N (splittable).
