Perhaps the most successful guitar from German manufacturer Hopf. The Saturn was originally produced in 1963. Featuring metal piping for binding on the body and f-holes, the distinctive look landed the guitar in an advertisement for the famous Star Club in Hamburg.

In 1992, it was featured with Robert Smith in The Cure video, Friday I'm In Love (hey we like that song...) Also used by a certain Bill Nelson - remember BeBop DeLuxe? - who said that young men should make wise investments, better order one now then...
