spectoremg Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Not quite slanty enough by the look of the alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well, some of it's from the 60s. That's a Hofner 185 (the original shortscale rather than the modern HCT version), Continental issue with celluloid 'dot markers'. It would have originally been fitted with a pair of 'Staple' pickups as fitted to the Violin bass. The equivalent bass in the UK and Commonwealth was the Hofner Artist - you got a serial number for no extra cost but you lost the uber-cool celluloid. That pickguard is quite a nice bit of brass and will probably polish up with some Duraglit. It sure as hell ain't original. As to being "of interest to a Hofner collector", I very much doubt it.
