Hailing from the early 1990s, and imported from Korea, this not-so-humble Hondo electric mandolin is quite a performer, and its looks can’t be beat. Solid maple body with spruce veneer top. This thing has the appropriate amount of heft for an electric instrument, and the tone sustains for days. The top, back, and headstock appear to be triple bound.
     Single-coil pickup. Tone and volume controls help you shape the sound. Maple neck with truss rod. Minimal fretwear. Well set up with comfortable low action. Gold hardware. Very good condition. Gig bag included, or upgrade to a hardshell or chipboard case.
     Prepare to rock out in style on a musician’s budget! Eat a mango; dance the tango or the fandango with Miranda in a bandeau. Entertain Cassandra on the veranda with tales of hunting anaconda in Rwanda. Practice tae kwan do in your condo in Orlando. Watch a film with Brando, then drive to the gig with Rhonda in your Honda, and play a rondo on your Hondo. It’s mondo mando for less dough. Forgive the innuendo.
