Blue rondo will do

[Richard Cooper]

I joined the Rondo club. After a LP Junior bridge,
scorcher pickup and D'addario medium Chromes strings,
it is a nice lap. Sounds good thru my Super Champ XD amp.

[Brad Bechtel]

So how much did the extra parts cost you all together (not the strings, but the pickup and bridge)?

[Richard Cooper]

$42.00

[Ron Whitfield]

Does the headstock look like it could handle a proper re-do to convert to 8 strings?

Same for the bridge end, to change it to string thru the body?

[Ron Whitfield]

[Richard Cooper]

I don't think I would try it unless
you add a plate under the headstock first.
You could string thru the body.

[Ron Whitfield]

Richard, does the headstock not seem substantial enuf to handle the stress?
I've contemplated the need for a backing plate as well.

Do you think there is enuf room to fit most tuners at 4 on a side?

Thanx

[Richard Cooper]

Yes it is, 4.125 inches high inside
the head stock. 1.75 W. at top and
1.45 W. at bottom.

If I ever get back to your neck of the woods we could do a set together

WE BE THE BLUES BROTHERS

[Richard Cooper]

Not bad for $159, the only thing they did wrong was the finish on the edges of
the f holes was sloppy, after new D'Addario EJ42 strings, sounds great for the price. SX RG1 FS Resonator SQUARE NECK no case, double boxed.
