I got this rondo sx and did a few mods . I refinished it in vintage blond, cut the headstock to a Tele shape, installed a vintage style bridge, pots and pups . The neck and bridge has threaded machine screw inserts for mounting. When i got it the neck was very good right out of the box, only need a little fret polishing and was good to go. I made the new pick guard using vintage style "garolite" material, that alone took hours of work.
Thanks for looking

Looks good. How's it sound? Was there a reason you opted to make the pickguard rather than buying an aftermarket Tele pickguard?
