Hofner Verythin Fretboard - 2

Finished up restoring the fretboard on the Hofner. The inlay had shrunk and lifted, the rosewood had lots of wear, and the frets were lifting.




I resurfaced the rosewood and inlays and sorted out the frets with a bit of re-seating, filing, crowning and polishing. Finally some lemon oil and it looks brand new. Next step is the headstock and inlays- I will post some pic's and info in a few days.

Hofner Verythin Fretboard

The inlays on the Hofner had shrunk over its 50 year life so I had to drop fill with pigmented superglue. Once filled I will resurface and level the inlays- check back in a few days for the results.

Hofner Verythin Restoration

Just started restoring a nice 1963 Hofner Verythin. The inner bracing was bad causing the top to belly. I introduced some moisture back into the top and bracing - a bit of titebond and a few clamps solved the issue. More pix to come.


Removed the hardware to fix the bad bracing etc.
