However I thought a black pickguard would be better. Just an FYI in case you haven't seen this yet.

Rick, that's a very nice looking guitar. I love the neck with that body finish. Are you buying that baby or did you play it? Or were you just surfing and came across it? Did you read any reviews on it? It is a really sweet looking guitar.

Sweet!

and at that price, you can afford to buy a black replacement pickguard

Holy zot! $199.00!!! Man. North American manufacturers are in for a rude awakening.

Tough price to beat.

That is one pretty guitar. I may pick one up.

The shape of the pickguard seems funny to me. And I don't like the jack on the front of the guitar; should be on the side. And that's ALL I have to criticize on a $199 guitar?!?!? What's going right with the world??

Hugo, I'm just on Rondo's mailing list. Got an email with what's new in there website. I thought it was a great looking little ES335/Epi Dot copy for just 2 bills. Haven't played or bought one. It just peaked my interest and grabbed my attention quite a bit. Usually the knock offs for that price have open HB's and a bolt on neck. My only complaint was the pick guard, but that's easy enough to switch.

Ditto, Agarn, Caster, and Xstonr....!!!

Wow, and i thought Epi Dots were a good price. Is that the only Colour?

RickG501 · March 22nd, 2008, 10:11 PM

Only color? Don't know. This was the one they sent me in the email...

Here's their linky thingy.

If they make a Casino knock-off for that price I'll be all over it!
