Hey guitarfreaks
Can anyone tell me, what guitar I am looking at?
The seller tells me its a Höfner vintage 175
but when I google it, it doesnt seem to be the same.
cheers

Sorry, the only picture I have so far.
I have been asking seller for more, and Im now waiting.

Telecaster model, no doubt, but from where and who - that is the question.

Right, I can tell that. But the bridge cover and knobs are weird. And the pickup is suspect to me.

The headstock might fill in the missing info. Is it a knockoff? Anyway, I'd ask for headstock pics and a guarantee it works unless it's super super cheap.

the price is 200$ which I dont know is cheap for it or not. Might be able to get it for 150$
- I agree, it looks a bit wierd.

That's been heavily altered, it should look like the pic. I'd ask to see a pic of the headstock and the back. Looks like it might be an interesting restoration or the start of a partscaster.

you might be right. So. what do you think, is it worth the price/shot?
>>73392805
I'd want to see the neck, and $150 might be worth the gamble, but it might likely be a knockoff and then even $100 is a stretch. This one's a knockoff that closely resemble your pic.
>>73392857
oh, I see.
I hope seller will be sending more pictures soon. Is there something specific I should look for on the neck or?

Sorry I was making some coffee.
The string tree should be in the bottom right, and the tuning machines are pretty distinct the nut as well.

No problem, I just hate to see anyone get ripped off. It happens too often.
