The company made thousands of guitars over the coming decades, with many being mid-quality copies of Fender and Gibson designs. The Hondo company started in 1969, and quickly began a partnership with Samick in Korea. Tokai did not build guitars in Korea until around 2000 but there is almost solid proof below that the Revival H935 was made in Korea in the Fame H935 section.

However, having referenced all Hondo Revival H935 serial numbers I can find with the information at the Tokai Registry, every number matches. Here we have a Hondo H935, inspired by a classic design and in a classy walnut finish. Serial numbers can be found at the following locations. The M-16 is not as high quality as the Longhorns but cool looking. 2 Longhorn 6, 2 Longhorn 4/8 Bass, 1 Longhorn 6/12 and 1 M-16. We ship all of our instruments through UPS Ground with Reverb Protection. Actual guitar shown in the above photographs. OK, now the true story behind Hondo Guitars, I own 6 Hondo guitars. All listings are as pictured in the included photographs. All told, this is an awesome instrument and a fine player don’t pass it up! Sorry, no case with this one.ħ.5/10 (very good condition) c.1980 Made in KoreaĪll of our instruments are inspected by our manufacturer certified technician and stored in our humidity and temperature controlled warehouse. The top has a few bumps and dings, but is largely very clean. The headstock has a circular scratch around the B tuning post, but luckily most of the other wear on the guitar is on the back of the body and neck. The pick-ups are well rounded and warm, with a great neck sound and a fairly reserved bridge sound.

After a professional set-up by our in-house tech, this guitar plays wonderful with a comfortable action and only some slight buzz from the lower strings. The only identification on it is a small metal plate on the front face of the head that reads MELODY (in all caps). He had it as long as I can remember and I was born in 1964. Regardless of exact dates and such, this guitar is a beautiful instrument with a great sound and a classic look. Hi great collection pictured here I have a guitar that I am unable to identify and value. Source: Michael Wright The Hondo brand was replaced by JB Player in 2005. We are fairly certain of its model, approximate age, and country of origin based mostly on comps and dedicated researchers in the online community. Hondo was founded by Jerry Freed and Tommy Moore in 1969 with the aim to produce guitars in Korea. It is difficult to determine anything certainly about this guitars origin, as aside from the headstock logo, it is missing any and all stickers or labels. This is one such instrument, made roughly in the early ‘80s and likely in Korea.
