The man that mixes my music has over 30 years experience as a guitar tech/audio engineer and he already bought 2 of the Rondo Strats as well as this guy which he told me totally sounds the part of a quality Gibson (I may be buying this one in the near future as well). I trust this guys judgment which is why I went ahead and bought the Rondo Strat. I played one of his in his studio (for a few minutes) and I was impressed with how it played for such a cheap guitar. He said the only thing to avoid with the Rondo Strats was the ones with a "stop" tail piece and the ones that say "short scale" and always get them with a maple neck as Rondo hasn't gotten the Rosewood necks down as well.
