Hondo EVH Deluxe 1980s- $150
Fair, but playable condition Hofner Model 448 small-bodied acoustic guitar from the late 1960s. This model was produced for less than three years from 1968 to 1970 with a 14½" lower bout body width, as opposed to the usual 16" on the other Hofner acoustics. It was also unique in having an adjustable steel bridge screwed down directly onto the body top
This is playable, but has issues including the laminate is cracked in many places and there are small dings on the body. The truss rod is not functional (the truss rod nut only spins). The action is pretty good, playable, but gets a bit high up the neck. There is 1 replacement tuner and a loose piece in the bridge. Made in Germany, S/N 55089.

Top, sides and back are solid mahogany. Scalloped braces. Mother of Pearl Taylor logo on headstock, rosette and diamond fingerboard markers on the fingerboard. Satin finish back of neck. Gold Grover tuners.

Good condition and very cool looking Penco A-14 M acoustic guitar, circa 1974 – 1978. Made in Japan, by the Hoshino Gakki Co. in its Nagoya, Japan factory, Penco made Martin and Gibson style acoustic guitars. Reverse engineered and built to spec, Penco produced some of the closest replicas of the Martin D-28, D-41, D-45, and D-45 12 models in existence today.
This A-14 dreadnought acoustic plays very nicely with a solid straight neck and new strings. I believe this is a solid spruce top with laminated maple backs and sides. It’s a beautiful finish color, my pix don’t do it justice. Screw adjustable bridge modeled after the Gibson Heritage Jumbo bridge of that period.
