Hofner Project

[The Joe Easley]

Hey there, ladies and jelly spoons. I've got a Hofner shell and I need parts! Where do I go? Who do I order from? How do I know I'm getting the correct parts?

I've never been called a jelly spoon before. There are actually quite a lot of Hofner-compatible parts on ebay. Legit Hofner replacement parts, too, sometimes, but harder to come by. What parts do you need and for what model?

This is the bass. It looks like it has dog-ear notches in the pickup cut outs. Is that for the "blade" style pickups?

It looks like someone cut those holes themselves.
If it would have been done in the factory, the edges would be much tighter.

But it does look like there have been 'blade' (512B) pickups on it.
