Hondo II Les Paul kopi
Flot gammel Les Paul kopi. Ikke så tung som originalen, da den kun vejer 3,6 kg. Hovedfaconen er det rigtige (ulovlige) Gibson design. Humbuckerne giver fin "tyk lyd". Guitaren er nok bygget i Korea. Jeg kan se at den originale stoptail er japansk, men ellers står der ikke noget om byggested.
Prisen er 1500 kr. uden tilbehør
Jeg har klippet lidt fra "Wiki":
The Hondo guitar company was originally formed in 1969 when Jerry Freed and Tommy Moore of the International Music Corporation (IMC) of Fort Worth, Texas. IMC's intent was to introduce modern manufacturing techniques and American quality standards to the Japanese and Korean guitar manufacturing industry. The Hondo concept was to offer an organized product line and solid entry-level market instruments at a fair market price. In 1972, the first crudely built Hondo electrics were built. However, two years later the product line took a big leap forward in quality under the new Hondo II logo. Hondo also began limited production of guitars in Japan in 1974.
By 1975, Hondo had distributors in 70 countries worldwide. The company made improvements to the finish quality on their products, introduced scalloped bracing on acoustics, and began using a higher quality brand of tuning machines.
Hondo was one of the first overseas guitar builders to feature American-built DiMarzio pickups on the import instruments beginning in 1978. By this year, a number of Hondo II models featured designs based on classic American favorites; these copies were very good instruments and have become highly collectible. In 1979, over 790,000 Hondo instruments were sold worldwide. All guitar production returned to Korea in 1983. At that point, the product line consisted of 485 different models
