please mind that i am player first.  i play guitars so unless i mention it directly in the description you can expect that i played the guitar or used
the part. so it is not new. if you want new guitar please go to the store. there are only two guitars in my recent auctions that i played but once
and it is mentioned right there in the description. if you send me an offer to end the auction early it will go to /dev/null and if you don't know
what it is i suggest to you to better yourself and google it.  .

all the auctions are as-is and no returns. it is auction duh! local pickup is cash only.
and please check my other auctions as usual - it is worth it

here we have mid sixties hofner 4576. it is all there it has thin body. it weighs very little. it sounds great. it comes with gig bag. 25.5. scale with big neck. these german thin body archtops are not getting the recognition they should be getting. they are excelent instruments that don't make a big hole in your finances and they are real thing from 60's. people are paying crazy money for anything starting with letter "g" and ending with "etch" and is made in the land of rising sun  while they can buy these instead and probably be far happier. this guitar is the same thickness as verithin so it is also no back breaker. the action is high from about 13th fret. i think it can be tweaked to perfection. it has micromatic bridge and i am not sure if the base was made by someone or if they came like this. front strap button has been moved about 1/4 inch back. it sound very nice even unplugged.

if you have a question

(real question) please do no hesitate to ask i'll get back to you as my busy schedule allows if you want some extra picture i will try to please you
but i will need your real email address since ebay massage system is useless for that.  the auctions will run its full length unless you hit buy now
if it is available .  i am not interested in any "trades".

PAYMENT & SHIPPING & PACKING & whatever

local pickup prearranged with cash only . i must insist that i will absolutely not accept  paypal payments for local pickup calls.

domestic shipping: lower 48 = ups ground , alaska & hawaii & territories = usps priority

international shipping : it is your call. i have good experience with airmail and express mail (it can be insured up to $5000 these days - so i was
told) but there are some size limitations there. if your country has smaller size limits i simply can't ship big 12 string d size or jumbo or bass
case to you with usps.  so please mind that in that situation ups or fedex....etc will apply instead.  usps, ups, fedex, dhl whatever you request i
will use. now  please understand that if you ask me to declare let's say $300 value on a package i will do it but it can't be insured for more and
so it is your responsibility to deal with it anything should happen to it. also i have no problem shipping to your friend/family member in usa so
they can bring it over for you if you feel it is better option. after all i lived in europe half of my life so i know both sides of the story. please
mind that it takes more time  for international to get it out and than it can be sitting at local offices of your country.

please give me and address in checkout and i'll send you invoice within day or two.

domestic paymen= evil paypal (cleared payment), personal check (around 10 days to clear), major bank money order, postal money order (is the
best) international payment = paypal or wire transfer (cleared payment) or if you have relative in usa they can pay me here like domestic  and i
can ship it to them if you prefare.

and just for sure again local pickup is with cash only and all the auctions are as-is and no returns.
