Got a busted up guitar and after some maintenance it SHREDS. I've come to the opinion over the last few years that Hondo guitars of any make are almost criminally underrated.
Gave the fretboard a deep clean then freshened it up with some mineral oil
Sanded down the fret edges for a smoother playing experience
Gave it a thorough setup with 9 gauge strings, super smooth low action
A new metal nut!
Added 2 new springs to help the worn down set of 3 that were not capable on their own.
No electronic issues, I reflowed solder anyway and tightened everything up
The pickups are surprisingly bright, with a nice bite especially in the bridge position. I put the back plate back on after taking these pictures.
Check out my short video on YT to see this one in action.
