SX SEG1/PG

Made in 2008. Solid alder body. 24 frets. HSH. Rear loading Floyd Rose Trem (no need for cutting strings tips) Mirror Pickguard. Thin style bound neck (like Ibanez).

For an inexpensive guitar - great sounding and "quiet" PUPs. 5-way switching gets you all kinds of tones. In between S sounds are there along with thick humbucker. I played it thru a Marshall and a Crate -has a "glassy" tone (kinda bright, but not brittle) due the mirror pickguard which is a positive! PUPs don't have adjustable poles, but don't need them.

These quitars come out of China with poor quality control so be prepared to due some minor tweaks (Rondo music has an excellent service policy for sending back). The neck was out of allignment causing the low E string to slip of the edge. I unbolted the neck and placed a shim on the side and tightened it up. The neck was now in perfect allignment. The locking nut was setting due low which required a shim - easy fix! The neck is one of the best I've gotten on these guitars. The frets and jumbo, smooth and polished. The mahagony fret board was shiny (not dry). The neck plays super - with the action set fast, I can play all 24 frets including the lower strings with NO fretting out. Amazing!!!! They did skimp on the thin black paint and a couple coats of polish - doesn't matter in this price range.

This guitar would withstand live playing - it is solid with good hardware. It's really a work guitar or "go to" guitar with all the tones. At $139 these guitars don't need to be pampered. I would use this guitar without a backup.

Rondo Music has a great customer support. I've sent many guitars back with prepaid shipping because of quality control issues.

I got this guitar for $99 ($113 with shipping) as a B-stock. It was listed as a one inch dent on back which was really a small series of minor indents (maybe a belt buckle), but hardly noticeable. Great deal! Although, I had to do some adjustments. It's a keeper in my collection and a unique looking guitar with that mirror pickguard.
