Happy Jack Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Built-Hofner-Left-Hand-Acoustic-Bass-Guitar-/222152876319?hash=item33b957e11f:g:g~MAAOSwvg9XYBIv It's not a "custom left-handed acoustic bass", it's a right-handed neck from an old violin bass glued to the body of a semi-acoustic guitar. Apparently it's "left-handed" because it's been strung that way. God knows where the scale length has ended up, or whether the intonation actually works. The parts used may well be from 1963/64. They could equally well be from almost any other year in a 20-year period. Run away! Quote

[/quote] To be fair, the jack plug is as for a 'lefty', too. Just sayin'. I'm a Hofner fan (I've several...), but won't be bidding on this, either. Quote

Happy Jack Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Could well be worth that for the spares ... Quote
uk_lefty Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Went for 320. We are a desparate bunch, us lefties. It wasn't me. Quote
AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I'd have paid 200 and converted/refurbished it. Quote
