Hondo 2 Stratocaster Style Electric Guitar 1990s - Red

HONDO 2 ELECTRIC GUITAR, STRAT CLONE, 1990s

The Hondo brand was created in 1969 through a joint-venture between Samick (Korea) and Fort Worth, Texas based IMC (International Music Corporation). It is often claimed that the name Hondo was taken from a John Wayne film of the same name. By 1976, the name was changed to "Hondo II". Hondo soon became one of the largest selling entry level brands, sold in 70 countries worldwide. This polyurathane finish has several finish cracks in the surface, commonly caused by the wood body shrink and expanding out of sync with the plastic finish (please refer to final e photos).

All of my guitars have been fully tested and are functional. All of my guitars have been “set up” (neck straightness optimized, fingerboard oil treated (if rosewood/laurel/ebony), action set as low as possible, pickup height optimized, intonation checked) all to MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES. (Please note: “setups” are not “one size fits all”. Your personal set up requirements might be different from mine, so, additional adjustments may be needed to suit your setup preferences). Per Reverb.com requirements to protect the guitar from damage during shipping, the string tension will be relieved before shipment. You'll need to tune the guitar to pitch when it arrives. Let the instrument acclimate to your environment! Differences in altitude, temperature, and humidity from my shop to your location have an effect on the instrument. Additionally, vibrations caused during days in a truck being shipped to you might loosen screws and bolts! This is a perfectly NORMAL occurrence during shipping! It doesn’t mean your instrument is DAMAGED! Because of all these factors, you will NOT be able to pull this instrument out of the shipping box and start playing it!

Also, for optimal sound and playing ease, I advise buyers to put a new set of strings on the guitar, the string brand and gauge of their preference. If your guitar has a Tremolo Bridge DO NOT OVERTIGHT TREMOLO ARM WHEN YOU INSTALL THE ARM!!! YOU CAN DESTROY THE TREMOLO ARM BLOCK!!! I suggest you watch some YouTube videos about installing and using Tremolo Arms BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL AND USE A Tremolo Arm.
