Re: bromo brand acoustic guitars at rondo music

Honestly this was my first impression of this brand as well (both points). However I think the days of great quality $99 Dreadnought guitars are probably over? and not everyone has fully adjusted to the post-covid price points.

We slowly moved our stuff of eBay and developed out own site. Reverb's fees were low enough that is was almost as cheap to sell on there as our w...
