I've held off reviewing because I wanted to give it every chance before I crapped on it. Biggest problem with SX... it came with a way-weak P90(sans bite!) I guess they're ok if one doesn't know better or hasn't played great rockin' P90's.

Biggest problem with Rondo... attitude. When I contacted owner with my complaints, his only smart-assed response was to give me instructions on how to remove myself from Rondo's mailing list... very LAME!

Rondo won't see another penny from me!
Well, it's too bad that you had such bad experiences with Rondo. I've now bought three guitars from them and I've had nothing but great experiences. Kurt has always answered my many e-mails, and has even sent me a couple of free bone nuts for my two Agiles. Judging by the sales volume that Rondo does, I'd say that most experience good service as well. But...you can only go by your own experience...

I knew that the electronics and some other hardware on the SX were not that great, BUT, there is no place that I can get a body and neck that is put together as well as on this guitar I just got, and finished as nicely as well. $110.00 for this is well worth it to me. I'll replace the pickups along with the rest of the electronics, and end up with a guitar that's worth far more than my total cost.

Since I have been building my own guitars for years, I know what good quality components are. My work speaks for itself. I also know how much it costs to build a guitar using the best. To find a fun guitar like this SX to mod and play with, is certainly worth the price of admission...and then some. There are lots of modders here who feel the same way.
