Gone Traded

2014 Hofner New President built by Thomas Stuhlein at Hofner Germany

Includes original case.

Full spec below.

In good condition but priced low due to the following (and I'm running out of space!):

• Finish checking on heel, headstock back and a little either side of the neck joint on the sides, please see photographs. The flash photography has accentuated the checking and it isn't as obvious under natural light. The finish is smooth, isn't flaking or cracking and the wood beneath is completely unaffected.
• Small ding on heel.
• Finish damage to the headstock, back edge.
• A few very small marks on the body edge, some scuffs to the binding on the sides and some very minor light surface scratches on the back.
• When the fret ends were dressed and the neck binding has been nicked by the file, noticeable under close inspection but can't be felt when playing the guitar.
• Endpin reamed out to take an endpin jack, now fitted with a NoJak and matching strap pin at heel both in cream plastic.

Due to the checking and neck binding damage I'm asking £1100 ONO* plus shipping and assuming PayPal Gift (or buyer covers fees), postage will be £15. I'm in Swansea for collection of viewing. These are around £2.5k new.

I'm open to trades. 

*price revised 30/7 after advice from Cranes' staff that I'd undervalued it

Isn't it? One of the prettiest guitars I've owned and surprisingly versatile acoustically too - good for blues, Americana, and singer songwriter stuff as well as the obvious jazz use.

Awesome looker !

Bump, trades ideas added: Offset or telecaster would be of interest, small amp suitable for home use – try me I can only say 'no thanks'.

Finances are looking better than expected so I don't necessarily need any funds my way in a trade deal.

Bump and price drop to £950 or trades – teles, offsets, non LP gibson type things, semis, hollow bodies, small amp, L6 Helix, WHY

Back up for sale, I've not touched it since May plus I've seen something I want. I'm flexible(ish) on price and still open to trades.
