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?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

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!

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.
