| Try and figure out when it was made. Vintage (i.e. late 70's/early '80s) Hondo copies of Fender/Gibson styles are somewhat collectible.

| | By way of clarification.... Bill is generally right in that, apart from pristine "lawsuit" era specimens, hondo guitars don't retain much value. That said, I believe they do have something of a following, and their guitars from the 70's are regarded as being the tonal peers of mexican fenders. Perhaps the best analogy is to think of them as a "poor man's tokai" Incidentally, didn't stevie ray vaughn play/endorse tokai guitars for a bit?

| Given the negligible cost of the instrument, you might as well try doing a complete overhaul of it yourself. Perhaps get your son involved, teach him how to solder, sand, adjust a truss rod, etc. It's not like there's much risk of destroying a priceless collectible.
