Hi, my names mike, i just purchased a hondo 2 h75, its a great guitar but it has no serial number or any markings other than brand and model. I was wondering what years they were made, cant find any info on them other than it might be early eighties. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much mike. Hondo was founded by Jerry Freed and Tommy Moore in 1969 with the aim to produce guitars in Korea. Source: Michael Wright The Hondo brand was replaced by JB Player in 2005.

These price ranges utilize a combination of expert research, external market data, and real-time Reverb transactions to estimate the current value of items in used but original condition. Hondo's Formula 1 Series was introduced in mid-1984 as a line of more contemporary copies, all featuring stock Grover tuners (with the exception of the H-7601, being a budget model). The first models introduced were the H-762 and H-785. Note: The Grover Rotomatics used on early examples have larger button posts (4mm diameter from flat side to flat side) than modern Rotomatics.
