Hondo H-820

Here’s a Hondo H820M — a vintage Precision Bass–style instrument from the late 1970s or early 1980s, built during the era when Hondo was producing some excellent import versions of classic American designs. Made in Korea, this H820M delivers that familiar P-Bass look, feel, and punch at a fraction of the vintage Fender price.

It features a solid body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, providing a comfortable, classic playing experience. The split single-coil pickup dishes out that unmistakable Precision-style thump — warm, round lows and clear, percussive attack. The natural aging of the finish and hardware gives it plenty of authentic vintage vibe.
