The H-1060 was Hondo's top-of-the-line, Japanese-made ES-335 copy. Part of the Professional Series, they were made by Tokai, based on their ES-100 model.
Note: Owners of this model, please contact me with any information you can provide; a picture of the neck joint would be greatly helpful.
The Korean-made version (H-935) would go on to be one of Hondo's most popular models.
