Acoustic Steel String Acoustic 8's @ Rondo Music: Wood Selection Thread (For Real)

[kurtzentmaier]

Didn't even see that Kurt wrote that. 100% down for 7 and 8 string nylons. Sorry, Ibanez...

Desired specifications? Only multi scale? 7 or 8 preferred? Scale lengths ? Woods?

 

[celticelk]

Maybe we need a new poll for classical ERG specs?

 

[tmfrank]

Any word on the 7 string multiscales yet?

Kurt my MVP for 2014..... Last post of 2014

January has arrived. I'm just holding out hope that the multi scales will drop before I have to spend all the money I made on the school break on textbooks or some crap like that.

Couldn't agree more, really holding out for these Multiscale 7's. Can't even imagine the possibilities

That would be great - (A poll for classical 7s or 8s)

Yes multi scale Renaissance 7s and 6s are planned but no firm ETA. Possibly May?

Straight scale 7s will be here first - possibly February.

Oh man, May is pretty far away. Thank you for the update though!

What about the multi scale 8s?

 

[Guitarsquatch]

I have to ask this because I had one bad experience buying a guitar online, does the Renaissance have a truss rod? I think I can see a truss rod cover on the headstock, but I just want to be certain it does before I commit because I'm 95% sure I'm going to order one.

 

[boxsmiley]

finally ordered it!!!!

Just placed my order for a multiscale 8, here we go! Nervous, as this is my first: Extended range, fanned fret, and acoustic w/out electronics. Can't wait to see how I adapt to it over time. Thanks to Kurt for making this such a damn bargain!

 

[splinter8451]

I am bummed the 7 has electronics... I guess I could take it out and turn it into an oval sound port.

I am sure the electronics are fine but I need a pickup for percussive acoustic, and I know the Fishman piezos don't cut it

+1 can attest to that. Although I had a different Fishman system installed on my Taylor 214ce, those undersaddle pickups just do not work for percussive anything. With that said, I love the idea of a sound port, good call!

Just got a reply from Rondo.

"Thank you for your inquiry. We currently do not have any multiscale acoustic 7 string guitars on order. Sorry, I cannot give you a timeframe for when we may get more in."

I've been waiting for more and they're not coming.

Bummer.

 

[dedsouth333]

I'm wondering if they'll ever get any more multiscales at all.
