Hondo

Sunrise logo (1981-1989)

The Hondo brand was created through a joint-venture between Samick and Texas-based IMC (International Music Corporation). The new company introduced modern American and Japanese production methods to the Korean market, while taking advantage of the low-wage level in Korea to offer inexpensive, entry-level guitars.

Note: ALL Hondos from 1972-1989 (unless otherwise specified) are made in Korea by Samick.
