A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

From a PM I received from Kurt late yesterday:


"FYI we have AD-3200MCC lefty in Gold w/P90, CSB and CSBF however in their rush to get to us before Christmas they failed to take any photos, so I think I am not able to post on the site and I really don't know for sure how the colors will come out ?["/i]

I have not yet heard back on the exact quantity of each but if the Advanced Sale TS that is currently listed is any indication, it will only be two of each. I already told him to hold a CSB and GT P90 for me so if you're interested, I would suggest emailing him and letting him know :

Thanks TJ! I emailed Kurt for a follow-up. Single-cut or double-cut doesn't matter much to me, but GT P90 3200 sounds awesome either way. I even have the magnets sitting ready at the bench to swap out (if needed).

My need is a bit lower than last year since I was able to get a gibby p90 les paul that sounds and plays fantastic, but alas it is not a GT.

Sounds like what you really want is something like this?

I wouldn't turn that one away, but I do have a gorgeous bursty Harm already. It has the toaster pickups and they're not quite the same shape as P90s for a swap. I also find the LP shape a little more comfortable for rock. I'm not sure why because the Harm is so light. Maybe it's the tone wood.

Looks like somebody will enjoy these.No GAS for these here, thank goodness.

UPDATE:

I asked him how many of each there might be and received this reply so I'm going to assume, like the 2TS Advanced Order thatis currently on the site, there will only be two of each:

"Quantities are quite small - just a few pieces of each that made this container."

UPDATE:

"Depending on the color 8 or less of each."


As usual, I guess we'll know when we know....

UPDATE

The response when I asked about the lefty SX situation:

"Well since you asked...Here is the latest thing that happened with SX as an example - last container arrived around October 10th - it was placed in "customs exam" - however customs was short staffed, so it sat there 3 weeks before it could be examined and approved. Then we could not find a trucker to hall from Boston port - so it took a full month from the time the guitars arrived at port to we received at our dock. Meanwhile we have customers with advanced orders complaining. On tome of that the total due to the factory had to be paid when the container hit the port so that causes cash shortages which in turn makes it hard to pay for additional inventory These are the kinds of Covid issues we are having."

UPDATE:

Who says I haven't ?

Happy to report Santa's little helper (FedEx) is bringing a Lefty Gold Top P90 AD-3200MCC to me, supposedly arriving on Christmas Eve. Thanks again TJ for the repeated heads-ups.

You're lucky as I heard this year has left Santa in a foul mood. I told Kurt to hold off shipping until after the New Year as I'll be out of town the middle of next week through 1/3. So drop me a line once you get yours...

Will do. Probably will report needing to rewire the tone pots.

UPDATE: Unless Kurt's count is off, there should be one CSB plain top and two CSBF AD-3200MCCs posting up on the Rondo site in a few days. The two Goldtop P90s that were also part of this shipment are gone. He didn't mention if any lefty AL-3100/3200MCCs were included this time so I kind of doubt it. However, one never knows...

Mine was just delivered. It's about 10 degrees F outside, so the guitar will sit inside its unopened case until tomorrow (I'm just not into relics). Christmas morning will be a great time to open it up anyway. Merry Christmas to all.

I let it out after warming up overnight. The setup is great, even intonated well. I can't find a flaw on it. Very happy with the 'Christmas' Agile! I think the pickups are stacked (so humbucker-like, but in a single coil shape). They are coil-tapped also.
