What happened to Hondo guitars The Hondo Guitar Company was purchased by the MBT International (now Musicorp) in 1995.
The serial number is stamped or as a sticker on the back of the headstock, the neck plate or on (semi) acoustic guitars on the bottom inside the body. The company also made improvements to the finish quality on their products, introduced scalloped bracing on acoustics, and began using a higher quality brand of tuning machines. It was imported in Italy with that brand in 1988, but has all the features of the FAME: grover tuners, wide tune-o-matic, large pickguard, open-book headstock. Serial numbers on the Hondo guitars appeared from 1984. In 1976, over 22,000 of the Bi-Centennial banjos were sold. The Hondo concept was to offer an organized product line and solid entry-level market instruments at a fair market price.īy 1975, Hondo had distributors in 70 countries worldwide, and had expanded to producing stringed instruments at the time. IMC's intent was to introduce modern manufacturing techniques and American / Japanese quality standards to the Korean guitar manufacturing industry. The Hondo guitar company was originally formed in 1969 when Jerry Freed and Tommy Moore of the International Music Corporation (IMC) of Fort Worth, Texas, formed a joint venture with Korean manufacturer Samick Company.
