This Violin bass has remained in good condition over the decades.  The finish has some signs of scratching and checking yet not enough to ruin the aesthetic integrity of this instrument.  The finish on the neck is still in great condition making for fun, easy playing.  This Hofner is a great example of what made these instruments famous. With tone and playability that would put a smile on Paul McCartney's face, it's sure to please.  Comes with the OHSC.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
