Members FUBTAG Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I got my SX SEG LTD today. Damn, Rondo is the bomb huh? Unfortunately -- I only had time to take it out of the box and open the case.... Holy Crap.... $143???? including shipping??? This thing LOOKS great, feels great... I can't wait to get some time with it. The case is hefty, a real brickhouse it seems.... I hope you all are as lucky as I am.. I like the tint on the headstock, the quilt top, even the hardware looks great.... I am happy as a pig in {censored}.... let me know what you guys think!! Here are the pics... sorry they are kinda big.. no editing just took 'em and dumped 'em... Now -- I am going to play for a while... report more tomorrow.

Members Doctor Morbius Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Looking forward to a more thorough review. I'm guessing the tarnished hardware is not all that tarnished and that Kurt was just covering his arse in case any of them came that way? Is the case good and stinky? Mine's due on Tuesday.

Members FUBTAG Posted August 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 ok -- so been noodling for about an hour... fingers are DIRRRRRTY!!! haha -- The neck needs a good cleaning... back and board. This guitar is like finding a closet classic. Aside from the dirt, it is altogether a solid guitar. As it is 1:38 in the am... I have no clue how the pups sounds... but that is irrelevant in that they are easily changed. It feels like a guitar should. I won't be so crass as to state that it compares to MIA Fenders... but it definitely does go up nicely against a MIM...It has nicely finished frets. The tuners seem to be a bit of an upgrade from the usual fare that is SX. As does the bridge... but I only have the SX Tele and the GG1 to compare it to. It would benefit greatly if I have a new nut installed (or do it myself), but that is a very minor issue. Overall, this is a definite classic HOT DEAL. If you read this Kurt.. thanks! you da man!

Members axegrinder Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Happy NGD!! (@Y@) Those cases are a nice touch...too bad my satin cover got torn up a bit where it attaches to the case-- so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Congrats! (o)(o) Great deal; being broke it makes me glad I don't need a Strat and don't really care for quilt, or I might buy one just on principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FUBTAG Posted August 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 WOW! Nice guitar That is amazing for the price you paid for it...man I wish I lived in the USA How does Rondo sell this stuff so cheap? Enjoy! I would imagine you can have them shipped to Canada.. just have to pay whatever taxes/fees etc. Contact Rondo.... They can sell them cheap because they are 'chinese' guitars.. I don't mean that as a derogatory statement. It's just that they can get them made cheap and of decent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Truly an amazing deal for the price. Sweet looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jacksix Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I love it! Can't find it on their site though. I've got that bit of money put away for just such a guitar purchase. Guess I missed it. Fubtag, I'm glad we agree on guitars. You made a nice buy here. -Jacksix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmkco Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 That is a sweet deal man! Congrats and play the hell out of it! Enjoy! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
