This Seville looks just like the Hondo II L5-CES jazz box from the late-70's and early 80's so those should be DiMarzio pickups (which came stock on the Hondo). Few and far between Japanese made top fof the line Jazzbox of that era - note - these are big heavy guitars with serious woody Jazz tone. Quite the deal.

I just aquired A hondo guitar similar to the one in the foto, but all maple. Model HL5FBB. The truss cover seems to be original but on it is written "Gretsch es 175" I would like to get some info on this guitar such as,the year,country, quality,value etc. Any comments would be very welcome.These guitar seem to be well-made,very playable Paddy
