I have not seen much discussion about these guitars. At present those are some of the last six strings left on Rondo. There is a clear finish telecaster on there that I like the looks of. Curious if any of you all own any of the Hadean models and what you think of them. I am guessing they are something close to Squier Bullets?

I have a Hadean Tele. I also have a Squier Bullet Tele. I like the frets on the bullet better. I have 5 SXes and they all have jumbo frets. The Hadean has “medium jumbo” frets and they’re definitely not as good as the jumbo frets on the SXes. The Hadean is a very well-built guitar, tho, especially for the price. It is much more “solid-feeling” than my Squier Bullet Tele. But the Squier cost $179 from Amazon and the Hadean only cost $99 from Rondo. The Hadean doesn’t have the “regulation” Tele headstock, tho.

Pics of the Hadean and the Squier Bullet,

I've owned one Hadean. I thought that quality wise it wasn't far off from the SX brand guitars I own.

I've got a few and I'd concur...

Yeah, it’s an EG-491 MN Nat. I think they’re sold out of them, because I don’t see them on the rondo site anymore. I’m glad I snapped it up when I could, it’s a nice Tele.

I had one of the first offerings Hadean Antiquities. It had the traditional headstock shape. I'd agree it fell in that Affinity/Bullet realm, albeit had a vintage style bridge. Definite plus. Toploader too, so a wangbar could a been possible.

It was there the day that I made the original post but looks like it sold this weekend.

I owned a Hadean tele before. It played really nice.

I bought a lefty Strat for my son-in-law and I agree it is on par with SX.
