About This Listing

From the Hofner website:

For those seeking something special, out of the ordinary, different, beautiful then our Gold Label guitars and basses are for you.

Gold Label instruments are either individual pieces or very small runs, usually of no more than six pieces. We create Gold Label guitars and basses using special woods or paint finishes. This includes special finish control panels, non-standard knobs, vintage style pickups and more.

They are exceptional instruments, all hand made in the workshops at Hagenau, Germany, by our master craftsmen. Some might say they are works of art.

All pics are of my bass. Never heard of madrone wood before I saw this instrument, although some very upscale luthiers like Fodera seem to be using it.
Video is not of my bass, but it's very similar (it has rosewood instead of madrone burl). Comes with all the included case candy and the original Hofner tweed hardcase.

Looking for $3000 OBO, will entertain trades & partial trades (+/- cash, especially for an Evil Twin DI or vintage bass)
