Rondo operated a brick and mortar store in Union NJ (IIRC) as far back as the late 60s.
What's up with the flag sticker ?
Is it means that the trees goes to China to start production?No, it's the sticker.
I'd bet a dollar that Roger still has still maintained a good relationship with Rondo over the years, and Sadowsky buyers would never mistake a Chinese look-alike for the real thing. I've been a Sadowsky owner since 1990 and I might buy one of these!
The last time I checked, they were MIK.Is it means that the trees goes to China to start production?

I'm trying to decide if I want to take the wrath of spouse and buy this one.

My guess is that when current stock is depleted, they will be - doesn't make sense to keep lots of different headstock shapes in the mix on the production line.
Yeah, I mentioned that earlier, I have a couple with these older headstocks downstairs. "What comes around goes around."I remember seeing on TB (early 2000s I think) had a "swoosh" headstock that was just a slightly thicker version of what they now seem to be returning to.
Still a pretty sweet colour, thoughThat one's Powder Blue - not LPB. It's not quite what I'm looking for...

As for whether SX is an acceptable Fender clone, that's a tough one. I'd say it's an acceptable Squire clone. I've owned 4 and my observation was that if as long as the Bass+fret leveling seems like a good bargain to you vs the price of a comparable Squire then go for it.
