For sale 1963 Hofner 175 This guitar has a ton of character and sounds great. It loves gain/fuzz..yet cleans up beautifully. Please see last photo to see how it was neglected and needed some determined attention. The neck was warped beyond repair, the pickups were dead, missing hardware...etc.
Now this 175 plays well and stays in tune, no issues. The body wrap has a few imperfection that occurred during fitting. The neck pocket has been shimmed to aid neck/body alignment. Includes original Hofner case. Will be well insulated in guitar box for safe shipment. Please see photos. Everything works well, it is gig ready to go. Hence a restomod Hofner 175 Cheers!
