Beautiful Hofner President guitar - I had some holes made by some Atari pick ups (put in the 60s) professionally restored. Its back to its original accoustic state.

There is still the jack plug input in at the bottom and the wiring is tucked inside if you want to add a pick up - i have included the Atari pick ups and a Hofner president scratch plate that i never attached.

Hofner 500 / 5 bass. Made in Germany in the 60??s
The 500 / 5 usually has 2 pickups, but this rare version seems to have only one. It says model is 500 / 5 on the label.
This model is quite expensive, but this bass in particular has been through some work, so it??s far from original:
- the wooden bridge is a replacement (and its a guitar bridge, not bass, but does the job)
- the tuners were replaced at some point, it has 70??s Japanese tuners instead
- the original ... view on ebay
