Based on the Hofner Verithin six string semi, and hence featuring a double-cutaway body with a 1.25" depth. In the UK Selmer catalogues from 1963 until 1971. Single dot fret markers and unbound fingerboard was used initially, followed very soon by a bound neck and bar type fret markers as on the 6 string Verithin. |

HOFNER VERITHIN BASS A near-mint example, this guitar sets out to be something that it really isn't. As far as I know, no basses were made by Hofner in the configuration shown in the pictures ie Pickups with only a Diamond impressed into the top and a rectangular control panel, the pickguard is also wrong for this guitar and the tuners are very non original. Conclusion, someone has taken a bare verithin body, added a normal bass neck and all the bits from the reproduction guitars that Hofner now sell [Club for instance] For sale in USA for a lot of money!!!!!! USA No Serial number yet! |
