I have what I believe to be a Hofner model 545 mandolin I am restoring. From what I can tell it was made in the 50's or 60's. looks like the neck came apart and someone pur a screw in it to hold it. I will repair the neck first. The frets appear ok just need some cleaning up. I will also make a new bridge from some rosewood stock. This is my first post. Comments & suggestions are welcome. I'll keep you guys posted as I progress through this.
