As for Rondo, my absolute favorite guitar is one of their Agile AS-820 semihollowbodies with P-90s, and my son's got one of their mutant goldtops with three P-90s. They're both great guitars, beautifully made and finished, perfectly set up and great players. The goldtop (due to its nonstandard pickup arrangement, no doubt) came with the pots miswired, which should've been caught. Kurt offered to take it back for an exchange, but no way was I going to send it back. I just wanted a wiring diagram. He shipped me a whole factory wiring harness for it. So they do stand behind their guitars when there's a problem.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110726 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110696 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 03:58:35 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110696 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110681 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 02:33:10 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rsadler https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110681 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110666 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 01:46:33 +0000

Moral of the story: Bad shopping experience online, but ended up ok. I don't think I'll ever buy a guitar online again though; best idea is to play it before you buy it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ebuchednezzar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110662 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110660 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 00:46:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion briank https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110660 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110656 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 00:21:39 +0000
It does help if you know what you want when you order it and have had the luxury of trying it out before hand to have a comparison.

My order of preference for on-line purchase is:

http://www.music123.com
http://www.musiciansfriend.com
http://www.samedaymusic.com

then eBay]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110656 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110649 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 00:07:51 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Gino https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110649 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110647 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 00:06:05 +0000
The guitar was posted by a dealer but I still got it at an excellent price. (Sorry, it's a strat-copy). The dealer ship an HSS version instead of the 3 single coils I bid on, but they bent over backward to make it right to my satisfaction.

The guitar itself is in beautiful condition, I was very pleased with the quality of the guitar. That sentiment was shared by a number of experienced guitarists I know.

I've had absolutely no complaints, but then again, I was probably lucky. I think now I would prefer to play any guitar before buying.]]> Guitar Players Discussion PappaJohn https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/buying-guitars-online/#post-110647
