It's not mine btw somebody asked and I have no clue!
It's a Hondo II Pro series HP1082 Longhorn Doubleneck
Hondo were American, built in Korea at the Samik factory. They originally had some sort of deal with Tokai to develop the skills necessary in the Korea factory - some were made in Japan by Tokai / Matsumoko
Details are a bit sketchy but it's thought some of the early (c1978) Hondo's were built by Tokai before the Korea factory got working properly, and some later (Hondo II strat copies were also built in Japan by Tokai)
Some info:

Does it have any Made in Japan stickers or is the neck plate stamped MIJ? - 1st question.
Moving on, there is a single neck HP 1081 (Hondo Longhorn) on Reverb for £450, but that's USA pricing.

I found an expired HP 1082 (doubleneck Longhorn) ad from Italy for e800 but I can't tell if this sold.
