    Hofner-(not just Beatle Basses)-Group Part 2

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I was looking at Hofners, and i have a few questions. Why are the Ignition and CT modles more expensive now? And how does the quality compare to that of a Squire CV or VM series? Also if anyone could compare it to an Epiphone Dot that would be great...
