SX 5 string. Rondo or dodgy China website

oh just to get a feel of the demand, if there is even a demand. lol.

Who would be interested in getting an SX? =DD
 
planning SX mass order through brendon? i'd like to get one, but i'm broke and i got other priorities. :(

@ahkiatt: unlikely that Davis will ship in, when i asked them they said they'll only ship in the more expensive stuff like ESP.
 
i saw 2 SX's on display at davis last week?

depends on who you talk to at davis. if you ask one of the assistants, they probably don't know, and being prudent they won't keep your hopes up either. if you ask boss, you could get an idea of when the shipment will come, but of course, they won't get stuck to any promises. which is precisely why they don't take orders either.

if they started taking orders from individual customers, they would lose the advantages of shipping in bulk. which is how they keep their prices competitive. and it is apparent that they would rather keep their prices low than to cater to the needs of certain individuals. as you know, it's impossible to ship something in brand new and beat their prices. that's what a dealer is supposed to do.

it's fair to assume that they won't ship in SXs if their stock of entry level guitars is still high.

but like i said, i saw a couple of SXs in their store when i came to collect my FT jr last week. oh and i called them regarding the FT jr. if you can't expect a fast response from email, you can get an instant response over the phone. email has turnaround time as well

you get an even faster response rate when you ask them face to face! i talked to the old guy, if that means anything.

the SXes at Davis are the simplest models SX has, we're looking for the more expensive models on rondomusic that Davis doesn't carry. ahkiatt wants a fiver, i'm hoping to get a fretless, don't see those at Davis. that's why we gotta ship them in.

but yeah, i see what you mean about the individual orders.
 
If anyone's going down to davis can y'all ask the boss or the lady boss?

Currently it's three 5-strings and one fretless 4.

I'll send an email to Brendon tomorrow.
 
eh wait i'm not buying yet! maybe have to see the price first before i consider lol. otherwise, not likely that i'll buy soon...

in that case, help me ask Brendon for a price quote first on this one.

but don't order yet. hopefully can get it cheap if we get more people to order...
 
HAHA I know I know... I'm just trying to get a good price for now... I'm not entirely sure if I am getting my own as well.
 
lol vin, nice taste.

@ramil: the SX starter pack can be found at Davis, i think it's $250.
 
Brendon says he probably can't get us a good price. So it's back to Davis, or maybe even one of us doing a mass order contacting Rondo directly.

Any suggestions?
 
given those two options, should ask Davis first. if Davis still say cannot, then looks like mass order haha. although i think that'll be complicated, and the shipping will kill...
 
gst will hurt too. yea. we can try asking rondo whether they can make a deal for us. if not we have to figure out what is the point of diminishing returns.
 
If you guys want, I'll have to go through rondomusic directly. Davis music like don't care. I called them up, they said they won't do individual sales for SX or something like that.
 
yeah looks that way...do you think we should start another thread, like for interest check? that way we can confirm who's interested, what they want to order etc. then maybe email rondomusic with everything and get a quote.

anyway someone else will have to organise this, cuz i don't have a credit card.
