64/65 Hofner 500/1

I’ve been doing a light restoration for a friend on his Hofner. It’s been in its case, in a damp garage for nearly 25 years. It was covered in white powdery mould like substance when I opened the case. I thought it would have been completely delaminated too but by the looks of it has escaped with just needing a good deep clean and a New jack socket. I’d left it in its case slightly open for a couple of weeks before doing anything to it.

Ace job. Will he play it now or sell it for an extortionate amount?

It’s a definite keeper for him. Lots of memories invested in it. You wouldn’t have thought he valued it by the state it came to me though 🤣

They are beautiful things , I have a later 60’s shark fin that will be getting a new trussrod. I look forward to getting it back in working condition.
