Members ChrisGansz Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 I went to Rondo music today to buy a SKY Stevie Ray Vaughan replica Strat by SX (later post when I get some batteries for my camera). On my way onto Route 22 in Union there is a big "Building For Sale" sign hanging on the side of the store. One of the sales reps informed me that Kurt is moving the on line business to New Hampshire and he might open a store there. Bummer - now what am I gonna do for immediate guitar GAS gratification:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JimboJ Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Interesting... I'm gonna take a ride up there tomorrow and pick me up an SX bass. I wonder if they'll be having a big moving sale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgmacaw Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 No sales tax and no income tax in New Hampshire. It makes a lot of sense to locate there if you're going to be based in the Northeast US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FUBTAG Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Where is Rondo? I know NJ.. but what is the address? I couldn't find it online... I am sure if I search more I can find it -- but this is so much easier! And you guys are always so accomodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheMadMonk Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 I believe their warehouse has been in NH for a few months now. Won't really affect most people's dealings with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 I can confirm. I ordered an AL-2000 Goldtop on Monday from the online store and it got here Thursday; it shipped from Claremont, NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zyx345 Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Thats terrible, I've been going there since I was a kid and bought tons of gear from them back in the day. I can understand why he wants to move though. One thing I have to say is that I always see cars there so they must be doing ok there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stingxnj Posted October 21, 2006 Members Share Posted October 21, 2006 Too bad. I used to go there way back in the 80s. I've been in and out a few times this year to check out the Agile hype. Never left with one though. Nice family buisness. I wish them continued success. It's a loss for the area to have another mom and pop shop close up.

Bummer - now what am I gonna do for immediate guitar GAS gratification:( That sucks, bro. Rondo Music has been my Mom & Pop music store since 1969 - back then I use to go there to get my cartridges & stylus for whatever turntable was hooked up to my stereo. It's only been within the past 5 years that I have been going there for guitars & accessories. I heard a rumor back in August when I was there that Kurt was considering a move to NH. Hey, God bless him - whatever is going to put more $$$ in his pocket. NJ is becoming more of a pain in the rump as time goes by. I want to be there when they lock the door for the last time - should be an interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitar-fish Posted October 21, 2006 Members Share Posted October 21, 2006 I was at Rondo for the first time about 6 weeks ago. Apparently the last time, now. I live in PA. I won't be hiking to NH anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Minitruth Posted October 21, 2006 Members Share Posted October 21, 2006 I recently ordered a GG2 from Rondo. It was shipped from Keane, NH. I'm in Varmint, so New Hampster is only a short ride. Might have to visit Kurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted October 21, 2006 Members Share Posted October 21, 2006 considering recent events in union, nj, i wouldn't want to operate a retail business there either. it's sad, they've been there since 1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here in New Joisey (I live about 8 miles away from Rondo) we get shootings like that on a daily {censored}in' basis. I don't blame Kurt one bit for getting the hell outta here - plus Route 22 where he's located is a friggin' traffic nightmare at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drumas funk Posted October 21, 2006 Members Share Posted October 21, 2006 Not to big a loss for me, seeing as I live in WI. Sucks for those who lived close enough to visit the shop, I wish I was able to check out all the stuff they have. Really this post is just a bump cuz I wanna see the SX SRV.
