Hondo II SG with dot inlays

[ejs]

I recently acquired this guitar, solely for the fact that I've never owned or played an SG style guitar before. It sounds alright, the intonation is a little off on a couple of strings and the selector switch is picky, but it's fun to play.

It still has it's Made In Korea sticker at the base of the headstock (on back), and it's model number on a sticker on the back of the neck plate, which is H727WI.

I know the neck pickup is stock, since I pulled it out and it had no manufacturer name or model number, and I'm pretty sure the bridge pickup is as well, though I would like to confirm that without having to pull it out just yet, but will if I really need to, when I restring it. Would Hondo really have put mismatching color pickups in a guitar?

From what I've read this guitar should be from '84-'87, right?, but I can't find anything online with this same exact styling and/or model number.

Anyone know any other info or have a catalog or have one?

Hi ejs.

From what I can tell, the logo and headstock profile dates this guitar from 1978-81. Unfortunately, I have no literature that pictures this exact model.

My guess is that the bridge pup is a replacement although Hondo did use zebras in their mid 1980's SG copies. I don't think they would mix zebras with solid black.
