Vintage Hofner..Real or Fake???

[PoorOtis]

I picked up a older Hofner HG130M LP style,4 pots,double humbuckers,in Cherry Red with 4 Diamonds on the Headstock. Got it very cheep,it was in pieces,
but its all there.Plan on putting it back together..tryed to do some research on this model(only has a sticker on the neck plate) but it seems like the MG130M
is a Generic trem used on several Hofner models..can't seem to find one like it on other sites..so I was wondering if its Real or a Fake!!
Hope I can get some help on this one!! Thanks.

Pictures would help with identification

Yeah, pix please. I miss the Hofner I used to have and love to see NON-beatle basses from them. (they did make other guitars, people...)

The Hofner company is still in business. Send the pics to them and they can verify it. You might need to speak a little German.

Re: Vintage Hofner..Real or Fake???

Could the title thread be a typographical error and the guitar in question actually be a "lawsuit" Höhner?
