Description

This guitar was made in the early 70's by Hofner. I've not been able to find much information on pricing or any history of sales. For information please view the following page;

The only price information I've been able to find is on a Bass of the same style that was made during the same time period from Blue Book Publications;

MODEL 187 (I)

- double sutaway design similar to SG, solid mahogany body, two-per-side tuners, mother-of-pearl block position markers and headstock inlays, two pickups, two volume, two tone controls, toggle switch, white pickguard, covered bridge, mfg. 1971-72.
