This post concludes the series on the Vintage Hofner 173 Reboot. You might also like to check out my earlier posts on the guitar's original External Features, Hardware; and Electronics. In Rebuilding the 173, we went through a detailed account on what had to be done to get this 173 back to playing condition. 

Mind you, I could not call this a proper restoration as the only original parts retained were the neck, body, bridge; and vibrato unit. Well folks, let's look at some before/after pics, then. And, kindly give the audio clip I've uploaded to YouTube a listen. Thanks in advance, and God bless :)
