Description
This German-made beauty was inspired by Paul McCartney's '63 500/1 & was intentionally "aged" at the factory to give it that well-worn, "played" look. Featuring a comfortable maple neck & loaded with a pair of "staple" pickups for that unmistakable Hofner tone. Professionally set up ready to play straight out of the case.
