Guitar
Here is a nice looking Galaxie; 3 pickup solidbody guitar made in Germany in mid to late 60's, These Hofner pickups can sound pretty good - sort of a more full range P-90 sound. You don't see these too often. Thumbwheel controls are sort of a pain in the a** but do give it major vintage vibe.

- Interesting 1950's Solid Body Electric W/ Hofner Pickups In Washington State For $150
This seller is offering an unfamiliar solid body electric that he says is from the 1950's and has Hofner pickups. I don't know if Hofner even made any solid body electric back in the 1950's so this may well be a one off or homemade guitar...
- 1960's Eko Semi Hollow Electric In Studio City Ca For $325
This seller is offering a nice looking Eko from sometime in the mid 60's. This semi hollow (without F-holes) seems to be a copy of the Hofner Club 40 or something similar. Not as fancy as the Hofner but still looks nice. *****************************...

- Vintage 1960's Hofner 500/1 Beatle Bass In Iowa For $800
I guess I spoke too soon about that other Beatle Bass for $1K because here is another nice original(?) model for only $800. I don't know if this is the "small panel" model or if these are the "blade pickups" but it certainly looks all original...
