Members elsupermanny14 Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Just curious...? Are there any shops or mainstream stores that carry those guitars? I'd like to try one out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doctor Morbius Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Pawn shops? SX and Douglas are Rondo's guitars and they are available through Rondo's online store. You can probably find some Shine guitars at certain retail locations. Some of the Douglas guitars are re-branded Shine guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lerxstcat Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Unless somebody has used ones in their store, no, you'd have to order it and take your chances. QC can be an issue with sharp frets for one thing. That's why they're so cheap though! If you could walk into GC and buy them they'd cost 40% more at least than they do. Contact Rondo and find out what their policies are if you get one with bad fretwork or other defects. If they'll eat the return shipping until you get a clean one with good fretwork and setup, it'd be worth taking the chance. If they're gonna gig you on return shipping, I'd be very skeptical of taking the chance. Whatever they tell you, either save the email or remember the salesman's name if it's on the phone so you can hold them to it. I bought a 7-string from them several years ago. Supposed to be an SX but what came was a J&D brand, probably just a rebranded SX for somebody's mom & pop store. It's a decent cheapo 7-string so I didn't care what the logo said. Nicer than the Ibanez GRX 7-string I had before because it has direct-mounted pickups and a sunburst finish with no pickguard. Other than that it could have been built in the factory Chinese Ibanezes came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raviolio Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 call these guys: http://www.primitivesound.net/store/ I don't know if they're an SX dealer or not; but I was in their shop the other day, and they had at least one SX for sale. FWIW, the guys who worked there were pretty cool to... very helpful and friendly. I just noticed the place as I was driving by, and I'm glad that I pulled over and stopped in. .

Members St. Andrew Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 China has a pretty good inventory. Ask for Ching Wong, he's the factory superintendent. He's 7 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
