only thing that matters for them is what was the cheapest scratchplate available at that moment.
the most of the hardware was not made by the same factory as the rest of the guitar.
don't forget though samick was de main builder of korean hondo's, hondo was just a name, and if fuji gen or matsumoku could build the same guitars for less money they went for that option.
there are tokai build hondo's, longhorn model, and matsumoku made models, DC model, these were higher end guitars than the average hondo's, set neck solid body (no plywood) etc.

he calls it a H-76 and thinks it was made in 1982, and strangly that guy is almost always right.
because the hondo name went out of use in 1987, only to be revived a few years ago.
i think the date is right.
hondo was always hit or mis in that time, or you get an nice guitars or a unplayable piece of crap.
the early 60's/70's hondo mostly were terrible, i don't care what the bluebook of guitars says about them (mostly good quality copy's).
i know by experience that's not true.
when the name changed to hondo II the quality was getting better, later on the name changed back to simply hondo.
if your's is a nice guitars you'r lucky and enjoy it.

This is my first post here, and I'm hoping I could get an ID on this. It would be very much appreciated. I have pics and info here:
I've heard almost everywhere that Hondo's are pretty much just pieces of firewood, but the Hondo I have is really, really good. I have played my friend's 86 MIA strat, and this pretty much rivals it.
