    Summary

    Body: Spruce top on maple back and sides

    Neck: Three-piece maple neck

    Pickups/Hardware: Two humbuckers, volume and tone controls, two-way pickup selector switch, bass and treble controls

    Cosmetic Condition: The body has deep checking all over. There are a few dings and scratches here and there, but nothing terribly severe. The back does have buckle rash that has worn off a lot of finish. The neck is fairly clean and only has a few minor dings on the back. The headstock has traces of wear on the edges. This Hofner certainly has been played, but has held up well over the ages.

    Modifications: The neck heel joint has been reglued at some point, an extra strap button hole has been filled, and the pickguard is missing.

    Weight: 4lbs 9oz

    Case: Non-original vintage softshell
