Gibson owners don't generally like them as they aren't 'proper' Les Pauls...

Me too, or possibly Kay, but not losing sleep over not knowing
Cheers.
Yes, it's a Hondo. Nice weight, solid maple block, great neck & sounds, plus good hardware & attention to detail.
Corks will be sniffed, but in terms of value, playability & fun. I'll take it every time.
My powers of prophesy are being very occasionally, completely wonky
Edit: this was referring to my ability to spot a future bargain :facepalm!
More randomness to follow
Some say they were made in Japan... some say they came from Korea... some say... this is all getting a bit Jeremy Clarkson
I don't actually know or particularly care

If anyone can show me definitive evidence as to point of origin, that'll be fine by me.

Country of origin has little to do with quality
