Does anybody have any information on these guitars? I just picked it up recently and can barely find any information on them. Serial # was in the control cavity and reads JN 98478. Any idea what it might be worth?

Hi kcguitar,

The Automatic, Lazer and Chiquita were licensed to Hondo in 1982 and first appear in the 1983 Spring Hondo catalog I have uploaded in the Catalog Library.

The Hondo version of your guitar was called the Auto-L in the Hondo catalog. I don't know what it is worth today, but it originally retailed for $350 USD.
