You bought the guitar like this or you bought the parts and build it yourself ? If you build it, I'm curious to have more details !

Rondomusic has a JM-style baritone (with humbuckers though) for $160. I'm pretty tempted... It's a Douglas and I'm not sure about the quality of those, but in this price range I expect it to be closer to an SX than to an Agile.

Nice, now try and work it into the show. As for Rondo music I have an SX Les Paul Special from them, it needed work on the frets but other than that it's a good bang for the buck. And since your not going to use it all that much it's not a bad choice at all.

i put the parts together for it, i bought the neck on ebay, bolted it to the body and wired up the pickguard, what other details would you like?

the neck is off a blacktop telecaster
the body is off a 07 mim strat
the pickups are american strat pickups i salvaged of another guitar i have
the bridge is the original MIM

i thought i was going to have to route out the neck joint on the body to fit a tele neck but to my surprise the strat body already had a tele route, i just had to trim the pickguard back a little and everything went together super easy

Well, if he does, tell him YOU don't want him to wander into YOUR territory so he has to stick to the lower octave. Works every time... except with 5-string bass players
