I couldn't tell what looked off to me until seeing @cmatthes's green standard. The zebra/double-cream positions are swapped on the orange one and looks weird.
Maybe it's the angle. With the TRC buckling and the strange break angles of the strings it was looking all F'd up to my eyes. Is there a volute/hump in the back of the neck at the headstock on these?
It's something Mike/Gary came up with, I think he said sage metallic with some pearl mixed in.
Inca silver with a yellowed topcoat and '68 muscle car vibes were definitely discussed.
I've always sorta mixed up Hofner and Hohner, like I use to with Hamer and Kramer before I started hanging out here.
To wit: I was about to suggest Prince's tele as another Hofner offering...
