Forgotten Rondo models

[notme]

As I noted on another thread, there were so many models of Agile, SX,Douglas and other brands posted on the old forum....all to be forgotten
Anyone remember the budget LP model wih the asian village grafic on the body? Rather unusual looking!
Post your rare or oddball rondo guitars!

[Bubba Zanetti]

I think I vaguely remember that model...

But when I first saw this thread, that ridiculous pot leaf Douglas Tele that Kurt once carried came to mind, I remember this being on the Rondo site for what seemed to be years, don’t think it sold very well!

And who can forget this one??? I think you need to be a Rick Nielsen/Cheap Trick fanboy to appropriately wield this beast...

I have one of these in RED finish.

An SX Strat with a STOP TAILPIECE.

Great guitar...mounted a Fishman Triple Play Wireless Midi Pickup on it. KILLER!

I had that exact model and I regret selling it. It was a great inexpensive guitar and I haven’t seen one since

Here are the for sale pics...

Here's one I wish I had picked up when I had the chance.

Douglas WRL 590

Darn thing looks just about perfect to me.

Or in green if you'd prefer.

Agile E1.
I've seen a couple resurface on GC or ebay.

IMHO some of the best guitars Rondo carried were the Valencia classicals.

Interestingly, I just looked it up and it took me to a thread I had posted on AGF 1.0 when I saw one for sale locally (including pics). It was a Hadean.

Neat! I forgot that it was a Hadean. I wanted one but the grafic kind of held me back. htey were cheap like $129ish? Set neck? Also in red if I recall.
I think there was 1 other LP type budget axe, with another name, possibly started with an I...?

That Agile E1 looks great! Never seen that one before!

I owned a WRL590, it was really good. I just wasnt playing it enough, out the door it went.

[Bubba Zanetti]

P.S. although I can always make a partscaster with a stop tail and tune o’matic bridge, if anyone comes across an SX stop tail Hawk/Strat, please let me know!

[notme]

Found these Hadean images!
Id be on the LP type in a heartbeat of Kurt brought them back!

Don't know about perfect, for the stuff I play, but it's a nice player.

[Rollin Hand]

Or in green if you'd prefer.

I'd be pretty happy with either of those. I liked the black flame model too, 6 or 7 string.

Kick myself fairly frequently for not buying one when the dollar was at par. Oh, well.

[Rollin Hand]

Of course, I would focus on this one.....

Here’s one from the Rondo vault...

Does anyone remember the AL-3100 FRETLESS 12 string???

Probably one of the more impressive “what the hell do I do with this?” guitars out there. Fretless 6 string guitars are pretty weird as it is, but a 12? I can see it being interesting for ambient/experimental music or playing trippy Byrds covers maybe, but definitely a conversation starter!

I always hope to see a V Everytime I get on the site lol.
I had a Douglas fulcrum I refinished and ended up selling to someone on the old board that didn't end up hanging around too long.
