i know that epiphone made 2 versions: 1 set neck and one non. you guys ever seen any SG jr copies from other makers? i want to say ibanez made one back in the 70s, but are there any more current ones out there?

I swear I've seen single p90 SGs on Rondo's site but nothing on there now.

Jay Turser made one, looks like it's out of production? Should be able to find a used one for cheap. JT-45. I don't know if it's any good, and the pickguard looks a little weird (?)

thanks for the help frank and lump.

i swear there was an old agile/sx one as well. but we could be wrong?

i might just buy an sg copy from guitarfetish and yank out the neck pickup. or not. who knows.

So what's the consensus on Rondo guitars?  how are they?  I'm really thinking about getting a Tele from them.

They're definitely worth it spook. I did a side by side comparison of my friends SX Les Paul Jr. copy and my new SG special that has p90's a couple weeks ago. The SX sounded every bit as good as my Gibson.
By my side I keep my things that I ne-uh-ed! Rest in peace is gonna set me free!

ahhh! listen to this guy!

by the way, in regards to rondo music: if they had a tele custom on there, i'd be all over it!

Hemisaurus

GFS do some nice humbuckers in a tele-size space, $25. Or do you need the 4 knobs as well?

Or just go w/ the LP jr. and be done w/ it.

I have a 1997 Epiphone SG Jr. with the single p-90 and still love it, even though it is the bolt on neck version. I have upgraded the tuners on it and put a graphite nut on it and it is quite a solid little axe.

It tunes down to B and stays in tune amazingly well even at that low of a tuning.

Give one a shot if you find one.

I have one of those except it is the Arbor brand.  I think I paid $150 for it brand new.  Fun guitar and well made for that price.  Set neck too.

I alwayshoped to find oneof those ugly zone basses going cheap sometime.

We need more over thetop cheesy instrments, like the neon green acrylic stuff. ;D

justinhedrick

hmm. my wife has said that we need a guitar to complete my 14 month old daughters room decor . . . hmmmmmmm. where do you draw the line between instrument and accent piece? i don't know.

LogicalFrank

You shouldn't. I only play guitars because they looks sweet leaning up against the wall.
