Fancy! How's that headstock... :mental:

Looks in good condition. The crack on the heel is common but should be checked for movement. Those pickups sound cool in a very old skool way. Probably has a neck that is narrow but deep; very much their worst feature IMHO.

How does it play?

No. Was looking at that. Does it go through the heel?

I'm picking it's there to reinforce that crack.

Might be worth more than I thought.

And shows just how close I was with my guess!
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend thousands on fishing equipment he'll use for a bit, then get bored and move onto something else.

It really is a mad headstock. It's like if your grandad had a lime green mohawk.

Neck popping out is pretty common - that hole would have been someone’s attempt to screw it back down - came across a bunch of similar “repairs” when I was looking into Hofners a while back.

Whatever anyone can be induced to pay.

Sorry..

To me, nothing. But Reverb gives them value.
