Here we have a great playing Hondo ll Professional model Stratocaster. The guitar has a great feel, is all set up, and plays and sounds great! Very clean with some light honest playing wear. Made back in the 70's at the Tokai factory for Samick just before they moved to Korea and by the way Samick has been making Fender guitars for decades. This one was made in Japan.
Hondo was one of the first overseas guitar builders to feature American-built pickups on the import instruments beginning in 1978. By this year, a number of Hondo II models featured designs based on classic American favorites. In 1979, over 790,000 Hondo instruments were sold worldwide. In 1980, the Professional Series was introduced, featuring higher-end Japanese-made models, produced by Tokai and (Only the Professional Series models were made in Japan, all other Hondos were made in Korea). These models were sold until 1983, alongside the Korean lineup (which became the Deluxe Series in 1981). At that point, the product line consisted of 485 different models.
