Well, it's not a German made Hofner, but it's pretty damned good, and it sounds close enough to Paul's classic tones to be totally convincing to all but the freakishly picky.

Flip da slide ya doof! Everything be pointed the wrong way...
I always had a soft spot for those, but I find myself wanting to put on a less pointy control panel. Maybe something made of matching woods and oval?
I agree. And the control panel cheapens the look of it. The only thing going for it is the mojo it's grown since the Cavern days. Having said that, the controls do their jobs. You can get a really wide range of sounds, funk to rock to jazz and back. I was shocked at its versatility. But man, those controls...

Cool! I the control panel looks fine, to me it kinda makes the look. Yeah, cheesey... But that's how they are, at least it looks "right" in my mind.
"don't worry, i'm a professional!"
Yeah, cheesy but iconic. I need the teacup knobs to make it look like Macca's, but I'm not in a rush to get them and may never.
I bought this thing, thinking it would be a nice "toy" to hang on my Beatles wall. Surprised the shit out of me. It's a serious mofo. I'd gig the hell out of it if I were playing it in a band.
