The H-7600 was introduced in 1984 as Hondo's entry level Strat copy, slotting below the H-760. It's most easily visually differentiated from an H-760 by its lack of a model number on the headstock. In 1987, the H-75/76/77 joined the lineup, slotting below the H-7600, and in 1988, the H-760 was discontinued and the H-7600 effectively replaced it.

Also branded as Fame Series.
