1963 Hofner Galaxy 176
Hello I have a 1963 Hofner Galaxy 176 that I am trying to figure a fare value for. Not intending to sell it but more for insurance purposes!
It is the red body version and I have had some minor work done to it by professionals to make it playable again! It does look like it has been dropped and the first pickup has a minor dent in it but all still works and all the electronics still work. I can take pictures...if that would help assess the value! There is cracking in the paint but everything is original minus the nut. That was the part that was bad that made it unplayable! Thanks for any help :)

Hi Christian--
The Blue Book does not list this model, which indicates that it is in no great demand by collectors. I can tell you that the solid body models that are listed are selling for between $80 and $275, depending on condition.
