Question about Rondo's... guitars :hiding:

Feel free to move this to off topic, mods, I just think it might have SOMETHING to do with basses.

I own and love an SX bass, nd I really want to pick up a guitar from them and I'm eying this Douglas:

Should I expect the same quality as their basses? (as in, hit or miss, acceptable quality for an outrageously good price)

On a side not, LOOK AT THIS GUITAR?!?!?! NATURAL FINISH WANT WANT WANT!!!!

I'd say for a buck and a half, why not! I have one of their Les Paul copies. Flat top, P-90 pickups. Great guitar. I think it was $99 when I bought it, about 5 years ago.

My 14-year-old son has this SX strat: http://www.rondomusic.com/sstsewhite.html and loves it. Great sound, but it could definitely use a professional set up -- fret leveling, etc. But fwiw, this pickguard: (http://store.guitarfetish.com/60tossspifis.html) fit perfectly on it with no modifications whatsoever and looks awesome.

thats what I figured. I found an upgraded version of the same guir, with EMG selects and grovers for $50 more, worth it to me. bought it! yay!

got it less than 30 hours after ordering... i forgot how fast rondo was!

guitar's finish looks great, definitely needs some time with my tech though.
