Neck is fantastic. Feels shortscale, but looks long scale... Can't find any info on this anywhere.
The switches are 3-ways so I assume you can play the phase game. I almost bought it on the spot but figured I'd bring it to you guys first.
Does anyone know anything about this Hondo II Proffesional? Is it worth the price tag? It's a fricken duocaster without me needing to hack up a squier bullet, it must be worth it. I'm guessing it's a clone of the Fender Bullet?
Eff... starting to think I should have bought it just then.
What do you mean why shouldn’t you why haven’t you done it already; I was bidding on one of these last year and lost out after biding twice that price.

I'd sure buy it from you for that price if you get it and decide to return it. Between that and GC's return policy, I think you're safe to go for it.

Sneaky...
It's gorgeous babe. I approve this purchase!
You could always call them & see if they still have it/ can hold it.

80 dollar lead II is fucking awesome.
just get a fucking bullet neck and refinish it with a lead II decal and you got a lead II for 100 bucks

I was meant to not score that venus. This is a far better find. Am happy... very very happy.

The guy in that video should post here, he's funny as hell.
Great score. I have to go look around the shops here to see if they have any Hondo anything.

Tokai = quality (japan, that is. no griefs about the Koreans, either.)
Aria = varies hugely, imo.
Great find! Am jealous.

Congratulations nice score. However my insane jealousy over wanting a lead II has means I can no longer like you...
Ps: the guy in the vid is class (makes some ROCK! faces)
