looks like it may be a bargain!

It's a later Hondo (post "lawsuit" headstock) & they'd improved quality a bit by the end of the70s, so it might be OK. Hondos are actually a very mixed bunch - most were Korean, and the early ones were pretty poor quality. Some later ones were Japanese, although it's hard to tell which without a hands-on look. The hardware's often junk, wherever they're from, although some of them did have US-made DiMarzios fitted.

The Ebay one's quite pretty, nice looking neck & non-original scratchplate. As to whether it's a potential bargain, that depends whether his reserve is £40 - once you add £17 postage in, it's not exactly bargain-basement for this sort of thing, imo.

If you're after a 70s MIJ P, keep an eye on the JapCrap thread, they come up quite often (a couple of times a week, usually) and they'll get posted on there if they get spotted.

Jon.
