Well, I mentioned driving because the thread starter is in in PA, and unless you're in western PA, a drive to Rondo should be doable. :)

EDIT: nevermind, i thought it was in new jersey. either way though, i wouldn't really be sure what to look for in this type of guitar. what makes the finish better than another? visible flaws, or just how it looks?

anyway, i do think the goldtop looks very good, but i believe the cherry stands out more. i want a guitar that looks good enough that i'll go pick it up and play it every time i see it.

hmm... looking at the website, it says the showroom is closed anyway... maybe i can contact kurt or someone over there and ask for a picture of the actual guitar they will send me. i've talked to him before and he seems to be pretty nice.

If the goldtop had a wraparound bridge or a bigsby, I would have chosen that one.

The CSB looks good and different from most P90 LP's. Sweet lookin' maple top.

eh, i talked to kurt over at rondo... he said they don't do pictures. i really don't see what the big deal is if they're getting a sale... oh well. he said the finishes on the sunbursts were pretty consistent. i believe it. i checked out the reviews on harmony-central.com and all the ones i looked at said the finish was amazing.

They probably feel that if they take pics for one person then they have to for everyone.

looking at the reviews at harmony-central, many people have said they get the guitars straight from korea and DO NOT even look at the guitars before they ship them to you. it appears the only complaints though is sometimes cracked necks and chipped headstocks, sometimes wrong guitars. everybody seems to like the finishes...
