Hofner 173 c. 1963 red''snake skin'' vinyl very rare model
This is a very nice and rare Hofner model 173 made in Germany c. Body is covered in the original red snakes skin style red vinyl with a cream division. There are a couple of places where the vinyl has shrunk and could. Possibly be reglued if required but with no damage. The black scratchplate contains the three Hofner pickups – the neck and middle pickups. On/off switch and there are two volume and two tone controls. The bridge is adjustable. With sliders for intonation changing and there is also a mute fitted. Tailpiece is complete but there would have been a plastic tip on the arm which is missing. The maple neck is bolted on and there are double dot fret markers – there are twenty-two. The headstock has the original tuners and ferrules and the”Hofner” logo. Thing it could do with fairly soon is a replacement nut as this one is worn. This is a rare and very nice guitar and is original – it is also a very nice playing.
