Hey!!! your using a strat clone i see,it sounds great!,what kind of pickups,i do love the tone,your using your pinky too,i love that,alot of guitarist hardly use it,i find that soo strange
Ken - where are you, man? You haven't been making new vids... just lurking about listening to others. Well I appreciate you coming by to hear my humble offering.
The backing track sounds like "The Thrill is Gone". I always liked that B.B. King tune.
Your string bends are nice and I agree with everyone here who said the pickup upgrade was good. The bridge pickup, in particular, has a nice, round tone, not shrill and twangy.
I assume you're running through the Vox amp?
I love that 'natural' finish on the guitar. I sanded one of mine down once to get just that effect.
Just the kind I would rather hear. I so appreciate it when a lead guitarist just gets to the point, says what they need to say, and gets out of there.
B.B.King said it best:"Playing lead guitar is like telling the truth. Once you've told the truth, you don't need to keep telling it".
Been looking at Rondo's site thinking about getting one of these. I also have the exact same pre-wired pick-guard on order to drop in an old Lotus strat. Nice to hear the sound of one before I get it. These come with the ceramic magnets so will sound different than the regular alinco's he sells but I am starting to like the sound of the ceramic better and they are much cheaper. Nice demo BTW.
Hi you are realy improving since your first vid anyway i was wondering how much if any did you have to modify the gfs pickguard to drop into the sx body or did it fit no problem also did the screw holes line up thx for any info and keep playin sincerley jeff
BRAVO!! ..

@nov20five Lol, I've got a video of me jamming to that same Bm backing track.
I think it's a youtube standard now...lol
Definitely one of my favorite "Go To" videos. I even ripped it and converted it to an mp3 and put it on my blackberry to jam with at lunchbreaks.
