H-766

The **H-766 – H-768** models were Hondo's various Gibson Flying V copies. Introduced in 1982 as part of the Deluxe Series, the range started with the H-76, which was a version with a 7/8 size body but a full size scale length. The full-size H-766 added a Maple neck and one humbucker, whereas the H-767 had two. The H-768 added a set-in neck, solid wood body and 22 frets.

In late 1983, a wider neck plate with an engraved Sunrise logo was introduced. Around the same time, the H-768 joined the Revival Series, adding Grover tuning machines.
