I ordered one of the recently listed Black SX STL-50 teles from Rondomusic a couple of days ago, and it was waiting for me when I got home today (pics will be up soon).

All I can say is that I am VERY impressed. The fretwork is fantastic, no sharp edges or high frets on a very nice chunky maple neck. Other posters have alluded to needing to replace the tuners, but these seem ok. I think I am going to let them stay for a while. The pots seem decent and it sounds great both plugged in and unplugged. This was $123 shipped, and this guitar is more than worth that.

Also, as other posters have mentioned the neck rout is HB sized. When I asked Rondo directly, they said it was an sc rout, but apparently not.
