Everything else was Korean.

The seller claims that it is made in Japan, and since the few I found with a quick search were late 70s/early 80s i can only assume this one is as well.<br />cheers<br />rwRWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667613997362019200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-57303464679332566592015-03-24T13:03:05.326+00:002015-03-24T13:03:05.326+00:00I've never seen a Hondo Tele like this one bef...I've never seen a Hondo Tele like this one before too, looking nice. Most of the Hondos that I've seen were in surprisingly good condition. I own a Hondo Strat from the same era, a Deluxe Series 760. You said that this Tele was made in Japan, how do you know? I thought that all of these were made in Korea. I'm asking just out of pure curiosity.Witekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967639539884482994noreply@blogger.com
