1960 Hofner Colorama brought back from the dead
I just spent some of the winter months on restoring this old Gal..it had more holes in it than Swiss cheese due to the fitting of alien components such as a tremelo arm unit and a tune o matic bridge and several attempts at getting them in the right place...also the headstock had been messed about with due to the fitting of the wrong size tuning pegs
leaving the holes oversize and dozens of screw holes in the back that dont line up.
Reamed out the holes and started plugging.
Sanded flush & marked out ready for re-drilling in the correct place.
