He probably saw the one that sold for £560 the other week.

edit: It's the same seller - obviously didn't go after all.

Oh, that's really sad. I rather liked the idea that something as crap as that Hondo had actually sold for £560. I feel all let down now. I think I'll go and have a bit of a weep.

.........I have replaced the machine heads with retro ones which show the original screw holes!
Instead read.....couldnt source the correct type/size so put these on instead!
......"The Toaster top pickup was added recently, before i acquired it".....Thats a physically imposible statement!

Could happen again - after all, three people were willing to bid it to £500 & beyond last time.

I emailed him - he said it was a one-piece body, maple or maybe cherry. You lot are so cynical

or maybe its plywood

I have seen a solid maple bodied Hondo - didn't look much like that, though. I've only ever seen FG finish ones with ply bods.
