Hondo II strats
Hi,
Had a Hondo II strat copy for a long time. The pickups and knobs were all black and the pickguard was white so I painted the body white too, with the rosewood fretboard it looks good, like ritchie blackmore's strat. Anybody know anything about these, I havent found much about them.

I had a Hondo II precision bass copy back around '81. I think it came stock with a Dimarzio split pup.
I look through my old guitar mags from time to time. There are Hondo ads in them. If I notice a strat ad I'll send you an image of it. I'm guessing yours is a late 70's model.
Check out the wiki info

I have a black Hondo H76 Strat copy in the attic, you've tempted me to get it down & put it back together. If I recall, the body weighs a ton, and is made of some kind of ply. Decent pickups though I think.

Yes they are heavy, it surprised me. THe pickups sound okay, they have black covers on them, cant see the magnets. I would like to know more about them though, just cant really find anything. Ive read the wikipedia artcile before, thats the farthest ive got though

I have one of these i think. Does it have a serial # sticker on the neck plate? If so what does it say? Mine has a cheap vintage tele style bridge with an ashtray cover. The pickups sound awesome for single coils.

I have a Hondo 2 but it's a LP copy. My Hondo is a great playing and sounding guitar for what it's worth.
