Rondo's RST 3/4 guitars

David B. Klein · Post by **David B. Klein** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 11:06 pm

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 whether it's worth playing with. I'd like to put medium frets on a rosewood fretboard type neck instead of the jumbos.

You should probably post this on the Agile Guitar Forum.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm joining the Agile forum now.

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 calls 24" and 22.75" equally 3/4. It's confusing.

I have the sst one and switched out the neck with a jagmaster conversion neck and love the guitar. I know several people on this forum have the sst version. I don't know if anyone has the combo pack version and that is probably why no one is commenting. I have read the combo one is a cheap version. But I don't know what that really means. I liked the maple neck and they still have some of the more fender looking headstock available. I switched out the neck because it had a slight twist in it that I did not recognize at first.

So, anyway, that is probably why there is no good 411 for you here. Maybe someone will jump in with some insight, but Rondo or the Agile sight can probably help you with good information if you don't get what you need here.

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.

Ah, a misunderstanding. I want to modify a 24-incher, not a real 3/4.

No, it was a conversion neck. There are true shortscale Jagmaster necks, that are the same as Jaguar necks, and there are later necks that are designed to convert a standard 25.5" body set to 24"; it's one of these necks he used.

jagmaster

You need the conversion neck version of the Jagmaster. I got mine new off of ebay for around $80. It is a perfect fit. I think Hotrod made a good post about jagmasters and their different versions.

Ankhanu and Cur, thanks for the info!
