Lindo Rosetta

The deformed lovechild of a Jaguar and a Venus. Now there's a thought. Anyone see these before?

Same here. Would like to hear it with a cooking amp though.

Also could not find anything on the scale length, radius, etc...

Scale length is 25.5 inches. So sez the Magic 8-Ball, & you can believe it!

no se si es "lindo"

I like the simplicity of it,
not sure about that V shape butt and pickguard shape

the pickup sounds alright though and they seem decently priced

Lindo are based not far from my house in Bristol UK. Guitars look nice but I've never played one.

Somebody needs to lean on them to make a short scale bass version.

ok. so the one i got was in..... bad shape. just lot's of small problems.

the tuners are pretty bad. their meant to be like the vintage style klusons but they've been having trouble holding tuning in my case.
the neck is a good shape but the orange tint looks nasty in person
the body is tiny. i compared it to my mustang and it was a good 6% smaller..... it does sit nicely though
the pickup appears to be one of those artec pickups. i normally like them but it doesnt seem to suit the guitar. it's like half way between a firebird and rickenbacker pickup. plus i'm usually the guy who stays on the neck pickup.

i mean 100% honest. i like the guitar.... but at the same time i feel it's not aimed at me. it's more aimed at the person who wants one sound and wants it all the time.

I have one of these in turquoise. It's quite fun, but build quality could be better.

Really like the neck - it's quite chunky and stained (AFAIK not lacquered).
Pickup is also really good. It's perfect balance between humbucker and single coil. Recorded our first single with it, considering I also had MIM standard Tele.

I got it used and for half price, so my opinion might be biased.

the build quality is the first thing i noticed.

also i think the pickups are artec pickups since they seem to have a similar look to them.

At first glance I thought this was a thread about Linda Ronstadt.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.
