Narco-

The SST is Strat-style and the Furrian 3/4 is Tele-style but both are 24" scale with 1-1/2" nuts. I don't know of any Furrians with rosewood, but these may have existed because Rondo had the little Furrians in previous years. Cheers, David

Cur, I thought Narco was referring to the Furrians. Agreed that the SST's came in both rosewood (62) and maple (57). I actually have a tobacco burst 62.

I don't know if they ever were available with rosewood, but they sure aren't now. I find I'm getting to like the maple, but I'm thinking of getting a custom neck from USA Guitars with rosewood and my choice of frets, radius, etc.

57's and 62's discontinued

The little Strats are no longer available, but Kurt tells me the Furrians will be back. While I was deciding on the color, he ran out of the sunburst ones - but I had basically decided on the vintage white anyway. It's really pretty....

I bought my 6yr old one of those about a year ago. The stock pickup was crazy hot, like 22k if I remember correct. I changed it and worked the action and nut, now this thing rocks. One of the better $70 I ever spent. It plays more comfortably on the couch than any other guitar I've ever played too....

SX Shorty Necks

The purpose of this post is just to share what I've discovered about the SX 24" scale guitars, in case the information will be of any use to others. Someone mentioned they didn't like the 1-1/2" nut width on the 24"-scale SX's. However, there's a good bit of extra space on the fingerb...

not totally getting why you want a 3/4 though
Ah, a misunderstanding. I want to modify a 24-incher, not a real 3/4.

Thanks Cur, that's a super response! Now are you telling me you got a regular Jagmaster short-scale neck onto an SST 3/4 body? If that works I'll do it.

Hi Gaybear,

I have small hands and collect short-scale guitars. How come on a "shortscale" forum I'm being asked why I want a 3/4?

Rondo's RST 3/4 guitars

Does anyone have any experience with the little RST's, the slightly cheapened version that comes in the package deals? I'm thinking of getting one, in part because it's the only 3/4 SX strat currently available from Rondo with rosewood fretboard, and I'm wondering if the neck will go on an SST and w...
