nice haha staying in tune is very important hehehe how did they ship the guitar? packing foam and double thick cardboard box deal?

my epiphone sucked so bad in the tuning regard. i was a little less than sober when i replaced the tuning pegs and ended up installing them backwards. so now you have to twist the pegs the 'wrong' way but at least it stays in tune haha

speaking of decisions that's one thing i don't like about the rondo page. their product layout seems to be about quantity over quality. i'd rather see a page for each main model and then subpages for the specific finishes.

Shipped in a cardboard box... packing foam around particular parts of the guitar, thin paper wrapped around the strings and the entire guitar wrapped in a semi thick foam material. I didn't like how the guitar came with strings already on it... also they are 9's, I prefer 10's. So now I need to adjust the guitar a bit.

I had an Epiphone dot special and I hated it... the only thing I liked about it was the instant feedback I would get when I was 50 feet away from an amp. It would always go out of tune and when I hit the frets a certain way it would be too flat or too sharp (it was very sensitive).

Yeah, they aren't trying to razzle dazzle you over at Rondo... "this is what we got... hurry up, pick one" should be their slogan.
