- 1985 Tokai Paisley Telecaster Copy
guitarz.blogspot.com: I almost bought a 1980s MIJ Fender paisley Telecaster once. It was in a pawn shop in the early 1990s for $400 Canadian. It was a time before anyone could easily find out that the MIJ Fenders of that era were so incredible,...
- 80s-tastic Hondo Model 781 Explorer-style Guitar With Bizarro Graphics
guitarz.blogspot.com: Hondo guitars seem to invoke either a love 'em or loathe 'em response from most guitarists, with some proclaiming that they were always worthless pieces of unplayable junk whilst others argue to the contrary that they were...
- Hondo "the Sting" 80s Pointy Headless Guitar Endorsed By Wonder Woman
guitarz.blogspot.com: From the early 1980s (circa '83-'84), here we see a Hondo H-795 MR "The Sting" guitar, a relative of the also super-pointy Hondo II H-1 which differs slightly in design by actually having a headstock - and a very pointy headstock...
- Can Anyone Identify This Hondo "gumby" Guitar?
guitarz.blogspot.com: If one particular budget guitar brand from the 1970s and 1980s has earned more scorn and derision than any other maker, then surely it must be Hondo. Hondo guitars were for the most part produced in Korea (you could even say that...

During the mid-80s - at the height of the "pointy guitar" craze - a family of related guitars hit the market under the Hondo and Mako labels. For convenience, I'll refer to these as the "Death Dagger" family of instruments. Hondo had an amazing...

Hondo Deluxe 757 Tele copy from the 1980s
guitarz.blogspot.com:
When I started playing guitar as a teenager in the 80s we all had the "cheap" knockoffs of the guitars we thought we really wanted. I personally knew at least 8 players with Hondo guitars. They were all Les Paul and Stratocaster copies. I knew they made other models, especially those inspired by the decade, but never before have I seen a Hondo telecaster.
This made in Japan Hondo Deluxe 757 looks to be in great shape and I really like the lemony sunburst.
At $150 Canadian the only thing keeping me from this awesome copy is mere logistics as it's a few big provinces away from where i am.
