A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Well no excuses except Life getting in the way...as happens to all of us at times.

I have been...remiss on my presence here.

Lots of stuff going on...mother in law and sister in law passing away within weeks of each other
which means a heavy toll on the Mrs. Pearce and the need for a super level of support for her.

I won't go into details but let's just leave it to the old "Shit Hitting The Fan Out Of Nowhere".

And of course our home based business at https://www.LightWingStudios.com has been doing
the Crawl, Walk, Run Thing...we're finally Walking after 10 years...Gotta pay the Bills.

That said, as of late I have noticed over a long time that Rondo has moved from its "Roots" of
providing great guitars at a price point to a more "eclectic" market and that is fine as it's Kurt'
business and he needs to be "Agile" in offering what others don't and still remain viable. He was
and remains an inspiration to us in that regard.

I've actually found a new "Agile Guitars" called "FireFly" that offers really good imports at ridiculous
prices. If nothing else they make great "Mod Husks" and are slowly but surely assuming the old
Rondo model IMO. https://www.Guitarsgarden.com

I've picked up a dozen or so of their guitars and been "Modding" them. Slowly they've progressed to
the point where they are ALMOST to being extremely viable right out of the box.

All that said I will try and stop by and re-contribute to the website we all know and love.

Please feel free to reach out to me at contact@LightWingStudios.com anytime...optionally a public
flogging will be considered.

Great collection , liking the blue semi-hollow.
The neck lliterally fell off my first and only Firefly , they replaced it with an excellent goldtop.

Glad you are hanging in there. Out of curiosity I purchased a Firefly 335 copy and if did have good bones. I turned into a real player with tuners, pups, nut, wiring and fret work. Then as usual I moved on from it. I think it will be on the chopping block soon. In the end I just want to play guitars with the word "Gibson" on it.

Quite the collection you have there. I had a pretty impressive collection of Agile guitars back in the day but none now. I will never own another. If customer service had a personality, Rondo's would be an introvert.

Sorry for your loss. Take care of things and stop in when you can.
+1 on the Firefly.
I have the Vee, Explorer, and JM types. Great guitars. The JM took some work to get right.
The EX is one on the best out of the box guitars I have received.

I still have 3 Agiles and 5 or 6 SX guitars. You don't want to know how many Fireflys I've picked up. Here's a few more...
