"I am fortunate in that I already own a Gibson Les Paul Standard with 1960s neck (slim taper neck). My first Agile MCC 3200 was intended as the host for a Roland GK3 pickup since I did not want to mount the pickup on the Gibson, however the guitar was so good that it rapidly became a favorite. Eventually I purchased an Agile 3100 series for the pickup and it remains my guitar synth. When I notice that Kurt was offering a long scale version of the MCC 3200 it was a no-brainer. The playability and finish of this guitar is impeccable. I could argue that the playability even surpasses the Gibson given the through neck construction and ease of access to the higher frets without "hitting the block" of the conventional glued neck set construction. The neck is slim and directly comparable to the 1960s neck. If you prefer a thinner neck then you will not be disappointed. The set-up/action of the guitar as supplied was very low (suits my preference perfectly) and only required a semitone of tuning adjustment. The scale length is 25.5 inches - I measured it, and thus provides a direct alternative to other conventional guitars but with the LP form. This guitar is a keeper. If you are considering this guitar then do add a hard case - take care of this guitar and it will serve you for a lifetime."

"Very happy with my purchase of the SX travel guitar. Amazing sound, only downside is the fret ends were very sharp in the action was high. I took time to file the Fred ends and drop the bridge by about a 16th. The result was amazing!"

"I bought an SX telecaster style guitar from Rondo about 4 months ago. It was one of the guitars they had on sale because there were some minor blemishes on the body. Pretty unnoticeable, but Rondo sold the thing to me for $115 including shipping. It is a very nice guitar, especially for the price. It sounds good and came set up well (just a few minor adjustments when I got it, typical stuff). I have played it a lot and am 100% satisfied. SX guitars get great reviews, but are not easy to find in the US. Rondo has them and the prices are fare. They also are very responsive to customers inquiries online."

"I recently got a Hadean UKBE bass ukulele from Rondo Music. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, but this is actually a very well made instrument. It has good materials and excellent build quality. In fact, it's much better than those over priced Kala ubasses that don't even have a truss rod. There was an issue with the case, but Kurt took care of it right away, so great customer service, too. Will definitely buy again from Rondo.
"

"Bought my second SX in the past month. This time a "B stock" Furrian Tele w/ P90's. Rondo once again shipped this guitar out expeditiously and i got a great deal on a sweet sounding guitar. These SX's are the BEST value asian guitars out there. Thanks Kurt."

"Just purchased an SX Hawk Semi-Hollow Thinline Strat from Rondo. Very fast delivery (despite COVID). Guitar came well packaged with gig bag. Excellent service and support (as usual) from Kurt. Guitar is on par with Squier Classic Vibe strat at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended."

"I am blown away. This plays and looks like a $2,000 instrument and I have played many. The setup is spot on. Please give my appreciation to the builders. Beautiful craftsmanship. Perfect neck profile for me. Solid, heavy critter.
This is how a LP style guitar should be!
Rondo Music's service and communication are superb."

"I purchased an SX Jazz fretless, and was completely blown away by the handmade craftsmanship that went into the making of this bass. I have enjoyed playing it from day one. I have ordered a SX Jazz six string, and will order a PBass, and PJ combo from Rondo music.com as well. Earl Davis from the max proud channel on YouTube turned me on to these basses, good looking out Earl, I have become an addict of SX basses, love the beautiful quality and sound!!!"

"I went online to order a guitar from Rondo Music. I had purchased another Agile via eBay and have been very pleased with the guitar. Dealing direct with Rondo is an email only experience. When they would not ship the guitar I called the so-called "Customer Service" line, only to be told by that person that they do not deal with shipping issues. Let's see if they can put the money back in my account half as fast as they debited it! I guess you get what you pay for, except in this case I received nothing. I would rate their "customer service" as NEGATIVE one star!"

"Rondo Music used to be great, but their quality has been tanking for awhile now. First it was with a Hadean double p bass I bought for $139. It was not like in the picture at all. It was completely obvious that the manufacturer attempted a dark red but first spray painting it back, then applying a thin coat of red. Further, there a drops of black pain on the finish. Also, the neck is not properly attached in a way that cannot be fixed. When I confronted them with this, I was effectively told "you get what you pay for". But was referred to the return policy all the same. So out of morbid curiosity I ordered a more expensive 6-string Hadean. Out of the box the string tension from tuning ripped the bridge out of the body. I am keeping these guitars as an example to people I know as to why they should not buy from this company. I decided to aim for their equivalent of high-end and purchased a nice looking SX with a single coil neck pickup and a humbucker at the bridge. The humbucker is so awful I have to keep the volume all the way down. I could say more about that guitar, but am likely running out of characters. Look elsewhere. "

"I just bought a Agile AL-2000 root beer flame & this guitar rocks.Ive been playing guitar for over 30 years & I have owned many in my days.This Agile i just found out about & figured for the price I would take a chance and get one before trying it out & I am happy i did.The guitar plays great & sounds just fine with everything stock.I thought I may need to change out the pickup's but after playing it with some minor adjustments,its just fine really.It did have a scratched up pick guard,i told Kurt at Rondo & he sent me another right away no questions asked.Now, no it isn't a Gibson but it's just as good if not better than those $600 Epiphone's out there & I only paid $199 w/$17 shipping.If your strapped for cash & would like a pretty darn good guitar,the Agile is the way to go..."

"I bought a agile reaper custom V 7 string guitar, and really thought it was great at first, I still like it, ( because of upgrades i did) but like others have mentioned you get what you pay for. The issues I've had with mine, might more have to do with how i decided to use it. I use A standard tuning which in order to use it i had to beef up the string gauge, to 60-10, and add another spring which this bridge wasn't capable of handling, and eventually wore done, because the metals were very weak in the saddles. I had a major issue with the A string saddle that the bolt screws into wore down, from too much torque put on it, to the point where you couldn't lock or tighten the string in anymore to the bridge. I also had the frets ware down with in 7 months, so bad that i got insane buzzes, when playing acoustic riffs, and wound up eventually having someone put steel frets on the guitar instead. Another issue i had was I noticed that there was a crack at the pivot point of the elevator screws, that looked as if it a repair had been attempted on it before they shipped it out. Speaking of customer service, they sent me a 25.5 scale guitar when i requested a 27" inch scale guitar, and they didn't believe that they did that. I had to go through and try learn how to do a proper scale length measuring to prove them that i was right about it being to short, and guess what it was. I could tell even with out the scale length test, cause i got a 26.5 scale guitar already. My most recent issue was the that the trem bar has a C clip with a plastic coating that has wore down, and caused a creaking sound when i pull up or down on the bar, even though i got the back bolt, and the trem bar tightened down really tight. The guitar got a lot better after all the changes. "

"I asked Kurt at Rondo to post this review on there site and was told they did not have a review section and I could post on other review sites like this one.

Hello Kurt
Rondo Music

I received both orders in one box yesterday before 1pm. The box was beat
up pretty bad and was taped with clear shipping tape. I inspected the
contents and everything seemed untouched by the mishandling during shipping.
The pickups were in there boxes and un-dented, looked like they just got
pulled off the shelf. The Floyd rose tremolo is un-scratched and
in fine shape. I will how well it works for sure when I install it this week end. I am
sure it is fine condition the cursory inspection looked good.
The guitar in the case was fine as I expected and the case in its protective
wrap was un-scathed as well.

All in all I am very impressed with the speed I received this order and
your total cooperation on adding the pickups and tremolo to the order to
help keep costs down. The guitar is set up very well, plays well and
sounds great. I will be recommending your company to all my friends who want
to purchase guitars and products of this nature. You obviously have a
company that cares about the products it sells and your customers.

Post this if you have a place for reviews on your site. I did not notice a
place for comments but I was moving fairly fast, also please a big thanks to
all workers who put this order together.

"Impressive instrument. I purchased the SX MN (maple neck) Ash Furrian (Telecaster type) guitar from Rondo through their ebay arm last week. I'm very happy with my decision to buy this guitar and have nearly 40 years of playing experience some of which has been as a professional. I would and will record and gig with this guitar AS IS. Eventually I will replace the pickups but had every intention of doing that prior to my purchase.

I did make some inquiries prior to my purchase via email about models available etc. and my emails were answered efficiently and most importantly my questions were answered directly. I didn't make inquiries with the intention of having Kurt gush over my email or my sparkling personality. I had questions to ask and they were answered.

It took EIGHT days for the guitar to travel here to the Pacific Northwest from New Hampshire via UPS ground... Just "eh" it didn't seem like $30 worth."

"Two weeks ago on Friday, I ordered a blue Douglas Hadron 725 7-string guitar from Rondo, and I'm loving it. I paid $225, plus ~$70 for fast shipping and ~$60 for the guitar case (after reading these reviews, I wanted to make sure my guitar didn't break during shipping).

My order shipped out on the following Monday and arrived on Wednesday.

The guitar was even better than I thought it would be. I want to say that I was just fascinated by the color, and I love the inlays. A guitar like this at Guitar Center would easily be in the $1000 range or more. It has a very nice floyd rose, locking nut, 7 strings, super low action, and amazing color. It looks, plays, and sounds very nice. I love the low action - I'm into fast guitar playing, and this guitar is great for it.
It has a volume knob, tone knob, and 5-way pickup selector. My only complaint is the pickups - the pickups aren't very good, and I would prefer it came with active instead of passive, because it seems to have a difficult time reading the low 'B' string.

When my guitar arrived, it was missing the whammy bar, but I e-mailed Kurt about this about a week ago, and he said he'd ship me an extra one, and it arrived yesterday.

Kurt is nice, and he's very quick about replying to e-mails. When I was talking to him over e-mail, he seemed like a nice guy."
