THis one was in MUCH better shape, but it still needed new tuners and bridge.
I did get a new Tone Pros bridge and tailpiece for it, but unfortunately the bushings are just smaller enough that what this originally had, that they don't actually hold into the holes... THey're also too much smaller to wrap them in tape/copper shielding to make them fit. And the new parts won't screw into the old bushings... Back to the drawing board.

It was already peeling, the binding was coming off and when I enlarged the tuner holes it took more of the overlay off too so I just took the rest of it off. I was gonna order a new overlay http://www.croxguitars.com/overlays.htm
but I realized (besides that this isn't a Gibson and I don't wanna make it look like one) that the headstock shape is different and the tuner holes are in different spots. I got some thin maple veneer and will just paint it black when it's done (50,000 years from now...)

Quite surprised to find that this is as early as 1975 - I didn't know Hondo were producing good-quality original instruments that early.
