Some of you may have seen my post in the guitars section asking for a value for the above guitar. After seeking advice there I have decided to move it on as its gathering dust at the minute.
Photos are in the link below.

Condition wise, there are a few marks on it as shown in the photo but isn't looking too bad for an 80s (at a guess) guitar. The tuners have been upgraded at some point leaving surplus screw holes in the back of the headstock.
The pickups have also been upgraded to iron gear rolling mill pickups. Not the most expensive but do sound very good.
It plays well all the way up the neck with a Conservative action and is very easy to play.
It will need restringing once you receive as these strings have been on for a while.
I'm looking for £100 posted to your door (with neck removed). I'm open to offers as I really need the cash.
Thanks for looking.

Have owned a few Hondos over the years. Their 335 copies are generally excellent. Nearly all if not actually all of their stuff post 1981/2 was made in the Samick factory, same as the Epiphones of the period. Imagine this was too - reminds me a lot of my very first electric, an Epiphone LP Special...
Apparently the Samick guitar factory was essentially set up by the guys from Hondo in terms of investment and given expertise and assistance by some of the guys from Tokai whom IMC (Hondo owners) had worked with previously.
Anyway, facts over. Good luck with the sale.
It's on ebay now but would rather sell it here than deal with the potential hassle!!
