Douglas WNO 630 Mellow Song

[dbfkjmatt]

Yo man, whats this guitar like for just playing acousticly?any good?

[slobomitic]

@dbfkjmatt ... you can hear it for yourself in my video response: Jazz Guitars Unplugged. Check description and navigate through the menu. Guitar is set with flat wound strings which make somewhat dull sound. I wasn't impressed when it had 'regular' strings.

[JakeAndHisMusic]

Can you get a more bluesy tone out of it? Like an eric clapton kind of sound?

[slobomitic]

@JakeAndHisMusic ... sure you can with right strings. I have pretty heavy flat wound strings on it that makes it sound woody and somewhat dull.

[JakeAndHisMusic]

@slobomitic thanks man and I'm having trouble deciding between this and an ibanez af75, have you had any problems out of this guitar since you've had it?

[slobomitic]

@JakeAndHisMusic @JakeAndHisMusic ... I have Ibanez AFS75TD and they are very different guitars. Check my videos, I have a few with Ibanez AFS75. Check video response above.

[Nintendo129]

have you tried to get a hard rock sound in that guitar?

[slobomitic]

@Nintendo129, you can get any sound out of it but it will feedback when playing real loud because it is hollow body guitar.

[Nintendo129]

@slobomitic Can you please upload a video playing with this guitar with a hard rock sound??

[kpmurphy62]

Oh I like tremolo too much

BUT Flat wounds HMM never thought of that .

That would definatelyb change the tone

[joeyguitarlo]

I just got my SX EG 7 today from rondo music, nice. I like the douglas line also.

[poltergeistxxx]

Original music very nice. Sounds awesome.

[wisesatyr72]

This sounds pretty good, maybe its the amp, man I want one

[peskypesky]

sweet!

i'm going to have to order one of these babies.

[SirNoobs]

Look up a site called Rondo Music, they sell Douglas guitars.

[carbonxdating]

do you know if Douglas/Agile/SX are in the same company?

[MusicFan2013]

@carbonxdating They're both made by Rondo Guitars...

[slobomitic]

ebay

[kpmurphy62]

Love that sound what are you playing through what amp?

the color is so Orange I want one do you know if they have it with a Bigsby in Orange?

[slobomitic]

No amp, directly into mixer. I don't know if they have model with Bigsby.

[Hoopermazing]

@kpmurphy62 Just get an Agile Coolcat... they have models with those farkakte Bigsbys on them. If I ruled the world, it would be illegal to put anything on an archtop guitar except a trapeze tailpiece and flat-wound strings.

[636117]

Is this model the completely hollow (Casino type) version?

Thanks

[slobomitic]

yes.

[kdc300z]

that was great! 5 stars

[pastorkev777]

Could you try a blues thing with overdrive.

[slobomitic]

It's hollow body guitar meant to be played clean. You can play it distorted but you will have feedback if you play loud.

[keithsa41]

Hi:

nice playing. Is this guitar worth the price? I mean would you recommend it? how is it overall in workmanship. tuners, pickups, woods, frets, would you recommend buying one for others?

thxs

[pastorkev777]

What would you say about the pickups and how is its action.

[slobomitic]

action is great. pickups are good.

[gretscher]

I just purchased one today off of Rondo Music online, well their Ebay listing. Could have called and bought one from them too. Did you get yours from Rondo? I got the sunburst that looks kinda reddish. I would have gotten the orange but I've had Gretsch 6120s in orange in the past and wanted to try something diff. I plan on replacing the pickups with P90s. I love single coils.

[slobomitic]

yes, bought it on ebay. They packed it real good.

[gretscher]

Oh how deep is the guitar? Is it 2 3/4 depth? Thanks.

[slobomitic]

I like my orange. Yes, it is about 2 3/4" deep.

[gretscher]

I'm gonna buy one of those. Do you suggest that color orange? It comes in sunburst which really is red wineburst. I like wineburst colors but on a hollow I like real sunburst or bright colors like orange on a Gretsch. Are you satisfied with the color? Also are the back and sides very flamed maple? Thanks.

[gretscher]

Nice guitar, is that Gretsch Orange or natural or what? I see these at the Rondo Music website. How do you like the guitar overall and did you put flatwound strings on it?

[slobomitic]

It's orange. Guitar is built really well. Feels great in hand. I just replaced bridge to tunomatic (didn't have to, but had one laying around). Replaced strings with 12-52 flat. Guitar is easily worth 3-4 times its price.

[eddie5555]

I own 2 of them. Both left handed. I got them on ebay. The first one I got the bridge at one end didn't touch the top for about 1 1/2 inches. But I liked enough to buy another one. I sent Kurt at Rondo music an email with a picture of the bridge and asked them to send me a new bridge. I love these guitars , very easy to play with the shorter scale. The workmanship is pretty good..

[Hoopermazing]

@eddie5555 - I wish that I'd seen that guitar as a B-stock. If I get an Douglas WNO 630 I'm going to replace the bridge (w/ a wood one), pups, electronics and wiring as soon as I get it... and, of course, throw a set of Thomastik-Infeld flat wounds on it.

[antman8813]

Hey man this is very very cool and really captures the mellow mood I like in songs. I dont understand why no one else has commented.
