Sold a Musicman HD-130 the other day and ended up picking these two up yesterday.The Univox is 60 watts with 6L6s with reverb and tremelo.
The master volume knob is some sort of push pull boost thing.The Hondo is going to be my beater/mod guitar,pretty sure the body is plywood.
Looks sweet and places nice though.Also pictured is my Les Paul Special.
I had an old Hondo II "professional" lp from the mid-70's. If that one's anything like my old one it plays great, sustains like crazy, and weighs more than a small truck. Nice score
I have a Hondo 2 as well. Bought it with the intentions modding it and never really did besides putting a dirty fingers pickup in the bridge position. Man, the original pick ups on mine were hotter than all hell, too. It definitely is just a piece of plywood haha.
i just bought a memphis lp thats plywood
gonna strip it down and create another monstrosity
tell you what......solid
that hondo looks nice though
and the univox
and the peavey

Generally Hondos are turds. Hondo IIs are generally better. They're from a brief time in the company's history when they were trying to make "good" guitars.

The cab is a 4x12 Peavey Festival cab from the 70s.The head seems to be some sort of Fender clone,not sure what the preamp is based on,but it has 4 inputs, 4 6L6s at 60 watts I think,reverb and tremelo,and a bright pull switch on the master volume for Bright 1.Its an interesting piece and only ran me about $300.The Hondo just looked cool and was cheap so I bought it.
