What makes this guitar special:  A great playing Hofner solid body electric with a super cool, true vintage vibe.  Made in Germany in the '60s this Deluxe Model 176 features a triple pickup configuration & tremolo tailpiece that works surprisingly well.  A nicely rounded maple neck that gets chunkier as you work your way up the fretboard is very comfortable to play & a pro set up from the experts at Cream City Music ensures the guitar is ready for action straight out of the case!Cosmetic Condition:  Lots of nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.  Overall the guitar has a great, well-played look about it with a nice patina.Neck:  Medium-profile, rounded maple neck with beautiful rosewood fingerboard & pearloid dot inlays.  The guitar was professionally refretted & there is no wear in them.  The original tuners were replaced with Yamaha Japan.  1 11/16" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.Body:  Contoured, solid maple body in two-tone sunburst finish.  Some nice flame figuring can be seen in the top & back.  Tremolo tailpiece with adjustable bridge.  3-ply large white pickguard has aged over time & turned into more of a parchment color.  Guitar weighs 6 lbs 9.4 oz.Pickups:  The neck & bridge pickups are Hofner "staples" & the middle is a Hofner "diamond", each with its own on/off switch.  Master volume & triple tone controls.  The pot for the bridge tone control has worn out more than the others & acts more like a volume control now.Case:  Newer, Reverend hardshell case included.
