Happy Jack Posted June 21, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/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.

AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'd have paid 200 and converted/refurbished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
