Published on 01/30/13 at 16:04Difficult to determine the exact origin of hondo guitars, there is no official web site and no serial number on this guitar. Asian priori, possibly Korea.
Ditto for the year of production, between 1975 and 1990 roughly 82 years??. Should find the catalogs of the time.
Wilkinson bridge kind enough mass spring
C-profile neck telecaster type, 21 frets.
Electronics simple: one button hambucker and simple volume
One setting, low level and high level clear sound kind Guv'nor overdrive marshall (large black pedals).
This guitar is special because hybrid form of a Stratocaster, the neck of a Telecaster and body contours are reminiscent of the rights Fender American Deluxe, a rock sound typical 70-80, daphne blue finish with such beautiful brown-cream binding.
UTILIZATION
The neck is very thin and beautiful, so thick varnish to protect it well while giving easy access that makes you want to play.
For it is against its weight, at least as heavy as a les paul, it would be composed of seven layers of wood. We feel the strength of manufacturing.
The access to acute is the same as a stratovolcano, except that the neck has 21 frets.
For his was not thinking too much; clear sound + or - according to this basic setting, then beyond 3/4 of a good knob saturation main group setting is to measure its presence (+ or - ), which leaves more time to adjust the amp or effects pedals or to reflect the piece.
From the 10th hut in saturated mode, one obtains beautiful harmonics due to the violin, which reinforces its exceptional side.
SOUNDS
This guitar is ideal for rock or blues: Stones via Led zep or radiohead ... From soft to medium a little saturation a bit greasy, it can be diverse and powerful rhythms and solos consistent (always mediums).
I have not appointed amp, I use the amps available usually a marshall jcm type lamp or a fender tube or transistor, starting from a standard setting (gain pushed a little generally + reverb) I dose the volume knob with the only available.
The range is narrower than other guitars (selectors + tones + volumes) but it is also good to focus on .. the final arrangements.
I use a marshall guvnor pedal to boost saturation if necessary.
As for the sound, I love it when she sings in the treble, it looks like she speaks.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years following a favorite.
I have not tried other models, I stumbled upon.
This guitar is unique, it is almost a guitar luthier (except for mechanical and wood used).
Its main drawback is its weight, as the Les Paul, standing is painful in the long run.
If I had to make this choice it would without hesitation, like the designers who have mixed different options for a very okay in the end.
I had not tried before hondo, but if I have the opportunity to try other, I would without a priori.
