I picked this pointy beast up on FleaBay just for the fun of it. :toothy12:
This is really so not my kind of guitar, but it was wacky and cheap, so I couldn't resist...
It actually is a really comfortable guitar and does not sound half bad.  Ya' just have to watch where your swinging that tail around. 

81'-83' MIJ Hondo Model-One Flying Z

That case is bananas.  I actually really dig the guitar itself for the same sort-of-ironic-but-not reasons you couldn't resist buying it for - nice find!  :party07:
 
You learn which part of the stage to play on, and how to execute "Bas Rutten's liver shot", you really can be the bandleader!

(Hint from "Hell O.Z." - Always invite a spare bassist or two to your shows!)

Believe it or not, there is a rare group of people that collect and love these old Hondo's.
I got an old Hondo Lazer headless guitar [think Johnny Winter] from the same guy and
Ken at Roadhouse is making me some new pickups for it. 
Both guitars are really nothing special, just kinda fun to play around with...

The last one I remember seeing was at an old guitar shop in Dallas, and it was in the shape of a machine gun... :icon_biggrin:

I saw exactly the same model last month, and wanted to buy it for the same reason!!!
the only reason I did not buy it, was because the pawnshop didn't want to drop the price... not even a penny!
It pissed me off so much that I left out of principle!! nobody will pay sticker price at a pawnshop!! idiots!

either way, Doug, this pawnshop was kinda close to you! oh well, in your general direction :) - Longview! if you hurry, they may still have it!

[/quote]I always wanted one, but never got one...I was a big Kramerhead for a long time, still am to some measure... :icon_thumright:
 
Black Dog ..... that is one pointy guitar all right !!

The case it self, is amazing looking  :o

Dude, you could hang that in the man cave / studio, and be able to hang plenty of leads off it  :laughing7:

I don't blame you for walking out!  Nobody, and I mean nobody, pays sticker price at a pawnshop.
What the *%$@ were they thinkin' :icon_scratch:
What were they asking for the beast if you don't mind me askin'?
:rock-on:
 
I have unnatural urges toward Ibanez Xiphos 7-strings...

They picked the maple expertly! - what more could you want? :icon_scratch: Great Fashion Statements are always about the accessorizing, after all.
