[SN 402453] USED Hofner / Vintage 63 Beatles Bass [05]
A Vintage 63 from the Akio Music Distributor era has arrived!!
Based on its specs and serial number, this model is believed to have been produced in the late 1990s.
Designed specifically for the Japanese market, it features unique specifications—such as a staple-top pickup and a long tailpiece—to closely replicate the model used by Paul McCartney.
In a sense, this is a historic instrument that serves as a precursor to the current Reissue series.
In addition to the certificate of authenticity issued by Akio Gakki, it comes with a tag bearing the logo of Boosey & Hawkes, which was Hofner’s parent company at the time.
The truss rod can be adjusted by about half a turn.
Due to the original neck angle, the action is set slightly high.
While there are some minor scratches and signs of aging, such as shrinkage of the heel cap, there are no major dents or cracks, and considering its age, it is evident that it has been well cared for.
Please consider this instrument.
