Lovely guitar ! Looks like my Fender Lead III that I’ve bought brand new in 1982 . It was around 900 DM back then , in see through Cherry red . Sadly I traded it in , a couple of years later for a Framus SG .
Any idea if the neck has a code as well?
Awesome ! Mine had the humbuckers from Fender but they have sounded rather cool !View attachment 7425From a construction and hardware point of view, the Hondo Gibson themed models bear a marked similarity to other Mats produced models like Westone, Aria and Vox models of the same period ,three piece laminated necks,Di Marzio pickups etc.I don't think that Matsumoku were fully tooled up to at the time to produce Fender styled guitars at the time.My strong feeling is that these MIJ F themed guitars were produced by Tokai.
