Third try ...
Would the trolls please leave their costume at the door. The management thanks you.
I NEVER was a Tele fan. Hate the looks. It has a body like it was hacked in the back shed from a leftover piece of table. Headstock is an aborted Strat shape. Again hacked from a leftover plank.
Then a friend bought a Fender Standard a few years back and he doesn't play it. Likes his acoustic better. So I asked to borrow it. Black run of the mill Tele. Strings are as old as the guitar and pups are so low, barely any sound comes out of there, and it's muffled. Twang ? Nope, not an ounce of it. So I adjusted the pups and ... geez that thing sounds good. I was expecting some kind of Strat parentage, but no, it has a voice of it's own and it ain't a cowboy sound. Now all of a sudden I'm thinking about trading him something for it. I won't change the strings and didn't adjust the action since it's not mine and I might not get it. But it sure changed my mind on Teles.
Another surprise was this video. While looking at amp reviews, this one caught my ear. I couldn't believe a cowboy guitar could sound that good on my amp.
Now this thread ... It's not the first time I hear great reviews on Rondo and I found myself wanting to know more about the SX Furrain. So please, let's try to concentrate on this guitar.
