They're junk. Don't buy it. Even if you wanted it for resale value, there are much better options out there, like any number of old Teisco and Matsumoku guitars. Its definitely not one you'd be sorry to pass up.


Its also not one of the more collectible models, even for Hondo, and its incomplete. Its missing locknut pads, the pickup poles are rusty, and the finish isn't in fantastic shape. Oh, and that big lump of metal on the back of the headstock? Thats to hold the allen keys to adjust things, and they're missing, and so is one of the lock screws for those.

And the front of the headstock is missing string trees.

And the headstock has a number of dents in it.

Only an idiot would consider this guitar collectible.
