60‘s Hofner 173 electric guitar with red vinyl cover

Vintage vibe all the way with this fantastic 1960s Höfner 173 "Beat" guitar, featuring a red vinyl finish and three pickups. The instrument has been well cared for and is in very good cosmetic condition. The pickup coils have been replaced, as the originals had failed—a common issue with these models. Consequently, the pickup output varies slightly, yet the guitar delivers the same wonderful tonal character that distinguished it in its original state. As shown a small piece of the nut has broken off near the low E string, however, this affects neither playability nor the string's stability—it is essentially a cosmetic flaw, though one worth mentioning for the sake of completeness. Otherwise, the guitar is in great condition, showing only the typical signs of age and use one would expect from an instrument of this vintage. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
