You're right that the name argument is a red herring. They dropped the "II" in 1982 and switched to the "H in a circle" logo after that. These particular models weren't even made in Korea like most Hondos (much less Japan). They were made in India, and I suspect some time in the '90s after Samick sold the name back to IMC.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080729752765908271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-47596819192941883312012-07-06T03:51:31.342+01:002012-07-06T03:51:31.342+01:00I bought this exact Model Hondo guitar July 3rd fo...I bought this exact Model Hondo guitar July 3rd for $100.00! It has great action and Crisp sound. I've played every brand of guitar from Aria Pro to Yamaha. The clarity actually rivals that of my Epiphone Les Paul. The research I've done has come up with the Name Scarlet Fury, and came out in 83! I wouldn't call the info 100% positive!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585568544346990640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-84069022223736336342012-07-06T03:39:39.464+01:002012-07-06T03:39:39.464+01:00I just Bought this exact Guitar less than a week a...I just Bought this exact Guitar less than a week ago!
