Re: Amped UP !

I marvel at the things that are available today but I doubt I will ever be able to utilize the stuff. I am still amazed by an amp that has a drive channel and built in reverb. I fumble around with a Trio and a looper and never even got comfortable with it. My Boss Songwriter acoustic amp has a buil...

Re: End of an era, no more SX in US.

I'd bet a few of the models do go up in the used market, but maybe not all. If I had to bet, I'd say the Liquid appreciates, not so much the others as there are similar models from other sources that are equal or less in price... I agree on the Liquid, but I also believe that some other models migh...

Re: OT: Occasional cigar, yes or no?

You've said health is not an issue, but I like to take care not to cause early failure of my body. So, my answer is no. Simply because the human body is not designed to ingest burning gasses.

Not a flaw on it visible, anywhere. Real nice red, but what no Rondo pictures capture is the metallic fine-fleck paint finish. i had...

The callisto or the p90 hawk is a steal of a deal with decent 10w amp and crap bag, still havent threw in the leaner cd. It may be gooder than hell lol. The prices even in 2023 imo are cheap for the quality u get with sx callsitos. just wait 6 months they will be gone and most cheapo lps will go up...

Re: Question about SEs

I'd say based on your many SX similar guitars in pic #2 above you already know the answer. As an enabler in good standing I'd say there are no reasons to not buy the SE with the desire inlays. Hmmmm, you make a good point. I DO already have a Blue bird inlay guitar with trem. (Seriously, thank you....

Re: End of an era, no more SX in US.

Can some of the members who have been around longer than me help clarify some things. Wasn't SX formerly known as ESSEX, which was sold by Rondo from the earliest days of their online retail business? I had thought that SX was, like Agile, a house brand of Rondo music. Is this not the case? Are Dou...

The one I was thinking of isnt symmetrical, and perhaps not a true double cut, but a modern double cut, sort of. Unknown 2.jpeg That's the SX KY-1, I think the last time it was available through Rondo had to be around fifteen years ago. I've got one exactly like that (with Gretsch Broadtrons) and @...

Re: So, what's the best affordable guitar maker these days?

Best is, and will always be, a subjective descriptor. My list has SX, Agile, Douglas, Hadean and Harley Benton on it. I will acknowledge that Rondo's guitar offerings have fewer 6 string models than in the past and they are dropping the SX basses, of which I have more than a few, but the value is st...

TC Electronic Polytune

Easy and fast. Lets you strum and check all strings at once and see which one(s) are out and quickly tune, OR simply tune one string at a time by picking only one string. Both options are available just by clicking it on.
