Fame 760 Series

En strat-kopi i den bedre ende. Da jeg købte guitaren, opdagede jeg straks at den fra fødslen var udstyret med AlNiCo pickupper og ikke de billige pickupper, der typisk sidder på kopiguitarer. Flere andre detaljer tyder også godt. Feks. er den originalt udstyret med Grover stemmeskruer. Da den ene pickup var skadet, har jeg sat en Fender USA pickup på istedet. De matcher nemlig godt.

Hey Cedric,
Thanks for writing. The Hondo you have is a great guitar. They started production in the early 1980s as an alternative to the Fender Strat. New, they ran about $200 to $300 dollars. The pickups were decent copies of the Fender pickups with a little more beef to them which is why people love this particular model. You can get a brief biography of the Hondo company from one of my last posts regarding Hondo guitars. The value of the guitar today is $300 to $400 or more depending on it's condition. What made this guitar stand out was the attention to detail. If you compare the tremolo block to that of a Fender, you'll notice that the Hondo uses a thicker block so it has better sustain. The pickups tend to run hotter than the standard single coil models found in stock Fender guitars. In a nutshell, it's a good guitar to keep and play. Let me know if I can help you with anything else. Thanks again for writing....

Logoen er typisk for perioden. Et lidt kitchet forsøg på Fender reference.
