Re: New hadean teles im really impressed!

Glad to hear the new Hadeans are of good quality. I like the HH tele model. Is it pronounced Ha-Dean? Or Hey-De-An? I always saw mixed reviews on the hadean so was scared to buy one years ago. they are nice mod platform imo but great bang for the buck out the box. Nice as any harley benton ive got ...

Re: New hadean teles im really impressed!

Rondo is getting a bit more selection. I was just very tempted by the SX Ash Thinline strat. I love my SX Alder thinline strat bodied guitar. I did mod the heck put of it. The body is wonderful. And I could do it again with an Ash version. I'm just not sure if I'ld like the heavier Ash vs Swamp Ash...

Re: New hadean teles im really impressed!

I don’t have Tele. These look the part. Glad you are enjoying them. Enabler. I have always been a lp guy and always use alnico 2 or 3 in bridge and never cared for the tele sound much till now, always ended up selling off the teles for my lp sound. I can keep high gain and high fuzz pedals clear an...

Re: Buying a new car- what can we negotiate?

Re: AD-3200 plain top? I own one now, I think . .. do I want to?

The plain top finish really makes it reminiscent of the old Yamaha SG DCs... Thats what I was thinking looks like an older 70s yamaha or ibanez double cut which I want but wont spend that much money on lol. Maybe it was a sample sent to rondo I haven't seen that finish for sale from rondo on the ad...

I didnt like the alnico classic plus to much when I had a pair in an sx callisto went to probuckers and I was happy. Surpr...

Re: new guitar day ad3200 purple blurple, giovanni pickups?

FWIW, the Epi Probuckers are A2s and the Alnico Classic Plus use A5s. I'm pretty sure @toomanycats researched it and the only difference between those two sets are the magnets. I'm trying to remember if the coils are slightly mismatched on the Probuckers as opposed to a balanced wind on the Alnico ...

Glad to hear things ended up working out, looks like you ended up on the right side of that deal. And it certainly complements your collection, you've got a lot of really unique and interesting finishes there. Regarding the pickups, it's certainly a testament to how subjective "tone" is. ...

Excellent! I'm glad it worked out for you on both the refund and (more importantly) getting a kick ash guitar. I've never heard of these lighter than 9 pounds, so it sounds like a keeper. How are you liking the neck? It was a bit too thin for my tastes, but others either view it as an advantage or ...
