Hofner prototype jazzmaster ??

Post by othomas2 »

Stumbled on this just now....

http://www.gumtree.com/london/54/29171554.html

Anyone seen one of these before ? 100 made ?

I seemed to think it was perhaps a prototype for the hohner which I know about but this he says is a hofner.

Did these go into production ?

ahh... anyways, not that interesting really, just curious....

£70 with case aint to bad I don't think... unless he means otherwise...

It might be a Hofner galaxy or a 177. Hofner pics. There are a lot of other posiblities and they're all pretty good guitars.

that guitar doesn't look vintage at all. and all those vintage hofners had fender style headstocks, not like this one that has 3x3.
cogito ergo sum...thing or other...

To my knowledge Hofner brought out a new line/reissued of guitars about two year ago, incl the new 335/verithin & that one plus a horrible looking rock guitar... there were a few on ebay etc for about £150 last year. Its is a Hofner not a Honher.
