Vintage Hondo II LP Custom Type Guitar with RARE GERMAN CARVE TOP!! Modified PLAYER !
SOLD - I have only seen one other German Carved Top Hondo in 40 years and that was a Flying V!!! Think that much of the hardware has been replaced (I think original stuff was gold). Tuners are a sloppy installation with some covered up dings around the enlarged holes. Bridge seems to have a downward bow or sag in the middle, although the string saddles form a radius that basically the same as the fret board. Just a generic tunamatic if you want to replace it. Pickguard & knobs look wrong to me, safe to assume that the pickups have been upgraded (they sound MUCH better than stock Hondo pickups). I would regard this as an opportunity to own a really unique LP variation - that German carve top is incredibly rare & cool. Sold as-is, vintage guitar with quite a few replaced parts.
That\'s the bad stuff - let\'s dispense with all of the negatives now. The neck on this guitar is great - she will set up like a dream for the new owner! Electronics are fine. Nothing but opportunity here!!!
BOTTOM LINE - If someone were ambitious enough to procure original parts I guess it would be collectible. As it is - you can have a great playing & sounding guitar that will turn heads on any stage with a little work!
BEST OF LUCK WITH THE sale!
