GEdwardJones Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 NoticedThis on rondomusic.com. According to them it's a one-off built at the Fuji-Gakki plant apparently to specs similar to the RG7420 except with a 22 fret neck and a single coil. Besides the horrible headstock shape for $145 I'm dang tempted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 :o Wow! I'm supprsed it isn't sold already, at that price it should go fairly soon I would expect. Thats a killer looking job for that coinage, only thing that makes me scratch my head is the 25-1/4" scale. But shoot you couldn't finish a new AANJ body in sparkle plus buy the new trem and pups for that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEdwardJones Posted December 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 If I hadn't spent exactly that much on getting Mr & Mrs. G. Edward Jones, Sr. Christmas presents I'd have snached that up yesterday. Shoot, I've even figured out how to make the headstock non-heinous.

Brian Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Hide's the front of head stock and of course posted it in the ESP section..... Oh well guess somebody else saw the value of it as well, hope he makes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywills Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 Ok let me get this straight, first link you posted takes me to a page that says its a ibanez factory built essex by the anboy name, it has a 149 dollar price tag and theres a shopping cart box with the number 1, then you click on that and it allows you go higher in the numbers as if theres more than 1 available, but they make it sound like a one of a kind with the word proto type, but never use the word one of a kind, also seeing one on ebay at the same time as the one on the first link, makes me belive that this is not a one of a kind, but a proto type that they still have available, so i guess the guy on ebay thought well hell for 149 might as well take a chance and try to unload this thing for almost double, hmm, i would try to get yours for 149 off that first link as i belive that theres more of them out there, damnit if i did not have that project mako im wanting to fix up i would try it out, hell maybe for 149 i can put the mako on hold, well at least thats my take on it, its not a one of a kind, for 149 it cant be, theres gotta be more of em what do you guys think Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywills Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 quick thought, they are trying to entice people with the word proto type, but its just a standard production model, never the less, its a nice looking instrument, and if its made in japan from that famous ibanez/fender factory, its gotta be decent, hmm im thinking like you, for 149 why not.

GEdwardJones Posted December 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Truth of the matter is I don't really care if it's a prototype or not. For $149 it would make a good back-up 7 string. Shoot, look at the whole Rondo page, they've got osme of the best looking knock-offs I've ever seen in my life.

jeremywills Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 yeah for that price, why not give it a shot, hell i might check back within a few months to see if they still have it listed and try to get one myself, by the way, thanks for listing that rondo site, they got some sweet stuff on it, thanks dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
