How did you get those guys over at Rondomusic.com to make them?

Their stock is a lot lower now. :noway:

What are the average costs of doing that too?

They only do custom orders at certain times. They're actually really cool about helping out this forum and doing things that no one else will do (cheap 8-strings, and the new "vintage" 7-strings) but with the way they order from factories in China (I think?) they have limited windows of opportunity, etc.

Is there anyway to help them in return to make the process quicker?


Would I just have to send them an e-mail?

Someone needs to tell them to have a fretted/fretless option. :realmad:

Why would they have such an option for customs? For the 2 guys that want a fretless fretboard?

Remember, Rondo IS NOT a custom shop. How many times that's been said?
You can customize existing models with limited options and that's it!

Edit : and yeah, like Jeff said, they already have fretless. For the 2 guys that wants one. :lol:

I'm a huge fretless player, currently have one of the Kowa modded fretless's. Beautiful AAAAA blank, undyed ebony board, setup is unbelievable.

Fretless :wub:

My point is, I nearly bought a fretless 8 Interceptor. There are quite a few of us around.

That's why you ask them.

Also, could they do fretboard scalloping if you asked? (Particularly on a neck-thru...)
