[slpayne]

Can pick one up for basically $200....good deal? I can't find much about them...

Generally, 35 years ago guitar fiends made fun of everything about Hondo guitars except the strap buttons.

If you like this one then hey, your loss is limited . . . at least you can say, "But honey, it was only two hundred bucks!"

Hondo was consider near bottom of the barrel way back when. For $200, it had better be mint, sound great and play great too. Otherwise... walk on by. You can pick up an used Ibanez Artcore in excellent condition for $200-300.

Some of the set neck models are really nice. I wouldn't bother with a bolt on for 200$ but I would pay 200$ for a set-neck.
