Reverse the Curse Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I don't know why she did it, but my mom bought my the SX sst 57 in the vintage cream . We got on the subject of guitars today, and I told her about this cheap strat copy that is supposed to be a very very good bang for the buck. I showed it to her and she thought it was awesome lookin but didnt want to buy from a no name company. Then I explained the return policy and boom!, its on its way. I'm suspecting this is part of my birthday present, but she didnt say anything. I now offically have more than one axe. Hope it gets here soon and in good shape The forumite formerly known as Cooper.

Vin-erator Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I don't know the SX sst 57, or Rondo. Does Rondo have a web site? Is this essentially a strat copy? Has it been reviewed in GP? I'm a little behind in my reading. Guess I should spend less time on line . . .

Reverse the Curse Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Originally posted by Super 8: [QBYeah... I was just pull'n your chain, man. Enjoy your guitar... [/QB]LOL yea, I figured. OK well its here Rondo rocks I paid for ground shipping and according to that it should have gotten here the 24th. As for the guitar, one word: beautiful. I simply am in awe. I simply cannot believe I payed 100 bucks for this guitar. It sounds 10 times better than any Squier I have ever played, and IMHO better than a Fender Standard. I thought my Ibanez was a good bang for the buck at 300 bucks, but I dont think I'll even touch that anymore. I immediatley knew the neck was classy, but after I played it for a bit it was perfect. The finish is very nice... not perfect, but very nice. I can stare at it all day As for the bad, the tuners suck, but I totally was expecting that. Luckily for me I have a set of locking grover mini's lying around and I'll throw them on next time I change strings. The trees worry me a bit. And I havent thrown the tremelo on yet, but I am not expecting the best from it. But we will see. Basically, if you even have the slightest thought of getting one, do it. If my review was bogus and you wanna send it back, you've got 30 days anyway. Basically, I'm a happy camper The forumite formerly known as Cooper.

Reverse the Curse Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 these tree's suck. Is it possible to just take them off? They mess up the tuning esp when I use the tremolo.
