Saw this on MusicGoGrind. I asked for more pics and they uploaded them. If you open any Musicgoround image in a new tab and remove the "?" and everything after it from the URL you can view the original size of the image for more detail. Otherwise they are no more than 800 pixels in either direction and compressed.
Looks to be a Hondo II Professional circa 1980 to 1990. I suspect the truss rod cover is on backwards and probably says "Professional" on it. They also made a set neck version with a heel much like a DC Junior. Looks like a PO sanded off the logo on the headstock and did a DIY refin going on the file marks and uneven finish on the front of it. The tuners have been upgraded from covered gear to sealed which is a plus.
It is rumored that some of the Japanese Professionals were made in Japan by either Tokai or Matsumoku and later by Samick in Korea. Any truth to this?
