Here’s a closer view of the Hofner Verithin that I am restoring. Notice that it has no hardware whatsoever, and that the marker in the fifth fret is missing one strip. The letter “N” is missing in the mother-of-pearl HOFNER at the headstock, and the binding in part of it, as well as in the entire fretboard, are missing. The guitar also needs a refret, and when everything is done it needs a proper finish. It may take anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete, but it’ll be worth the wait. Did I mention that it’s a 46-year-old guitar, having been built in 1960? That means in four years it’ll be 50 years old!
