I've never played one, but I wouldn't expect them to be very good, despite what people are saying.
Not a fan of how they look. P90s instead of JM pickups? OH THE INSANITY! But I like p90s.

I mean, obviously I wouldn't keep it stock, I might even use it as a base for my Stagg Jazzmaster/Jaguar project here index.php?topic=845.0 As something a little different, because it has evrything already routed for £60/£70

Le bump - I've been eying these up for quite a while, and have mailed Kurt, the bloke who runs Rondo, and he WILL mail them to the UK. Huzzah! Just drop him a line; some of your warranty is effected, but that's what you'd expect anyway. I'm going to get one after my next major eBay clearout.

I have a friend that has one, I played it and for the price it wasn't bad at all

Naturality · Post by **Naturality** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:34 pm

Yeah, I'm gonna get it and mod it a fair bit, humbucker bridge p/u and some weird wiring. I'm thinking one switch for South Coil/ Parallel/ North Coil and once for Series On/Off + Maybe a maple tele neck I'm emailing him right now

Woah! He wants $85 for shipping!

Do you think it's worth £110 for that When I could save up for a bit longer and get a CIJ? I already have half the amount I need for a JM and I could probably get one by april.

Just my opinion, but: no.

Stock CIJ Jazzmasters are decent instruments, even though there's lots of upgrades people like to do to them. I've never really heard anyone with anything good to say about a Rondo, and you certainly wouldn't be able to sell it for anywhere near what it would cost you new.

Look at it this way: if you had the Rondo, would you still want a Jazzmaster? .. and vice versa?

Thanks but I'm getting this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALDEN-JAZZCASTER- ... dZViewItem

Haha... that Alden looks pretty cool for the price!

I'll bet a Fender-style neck would bolt right up, but I wonder if an AV trem would fit in there? Is that a tuna-matic I see?
