Nice instrument!

Do you guys have any issues with sympathetic vibration of strings between the nut and tuners? I have an upside-down Strat neck on a couple guitars and, while I like the feel of the strings when the bass strings are longer, I've had to use the rubber pick holders nested in the strings above the nut to keep them from ringing. Do Rondo guitars have that issue, or does their design solve it somehow? Thanks.

Wow, $175 sounds like a good deal! Great to hear that its a good axe. I'd love to get myself a seven string, even if just for pickup reviews.

Nice looking guitar.

Is it made of what kind of wood ?

Cool score man.
I find the longer scale length only becomes apparent when you try to do certain things.
I find certain chords that are already quite difficult to do on a 25.5 inch scale guitar become basically impossible on a longer scale without causing pain, and with heavy string bending/vibrato using the same string gauge and tuning, the longer scale definitely wears you down more quickly.

You'll be able to comfortably tune to F with that scale length if you ever feel the need

Yeah, myself I'm not really a fan of the longer scale length, but I don't go lower than A, and even then I'm dropping.

B on a 25.5 sets up fine, if you know how.

Got mine. Arrived 2 days ago. Great service from Rondo

Oh sweet, the natural one! Very cool bro. Hope you enjoy it!

Honestly, no. It's super solid all the way around. LOVE the reverse headstock on it.

Basswood.

Oh yeah... I've done something very drastic to the appearance of the guitar.

I'll wait for the weather to clear up to get some good pics of it. Ya'll might dig it. Hehehehe

They've got these in lefty and I've seriously considered picking one up. I think you might have pushed me over the edge.

Re: NGD: 7-String Content

Have no buzzing string issues with mine. If the headstock is angled deep enough, the buzzing shouldn't happen. Ditto if the tension at the nut is right.

Re: NGD: 7-String Content

Did you put pink pickups and green strat knobs on it?

Re: NGD: 7-String Content

Well, one of the pups has a pink coil.

TLD! Your thread has inspired me. :yourock: I went Agile, but I too have orderd a 7. I'll post a pic in a week or so when it comes in! :headbang:

Re: NGD: 7-String Content

If I had money, I'd order one of these in a heartbeat. Extended chords sound like so much fun now that I've started to incorporate a little bit of black metal to my playing style.

Extended chords <3

I'm surprised to see you with a string-through guitar, though I guess for $200 you aren't going to find a 7-string with a bearable tremelo. Awaiting new pics...

Yeah I knew I wanted to go string through with my next guitar. I kinda get sick of having a trem on every damn one of my guitars. I like being able to change tunings on the fly.

And yeah I'm still waiting for the sun to come out for pics. Every time I get home it starts raining.

Sharp, clean axe my friend. Curious to see what crazy color sceme you give it.

Enjoy the new sonic possibilities.
