got this Douglas (Rondo Music) 27" bari delivered yesterday:
quality is shockingly good for a sub-$200 guitar. the only QC issue i noticed were some stray plastic shavings still attached to the nut. hardware & pickups are better than i expected (it's pretty certain that i will change at least the bridge pickup, though...just because that's what i do...). plays & sounds great!

Happy NGD!
Baritones are awesome!
Throw a cool pickup in the bridge and add a bigsby and you got weird badass baritone superstrat.

Hecka curious about an ongoing review on this. Looks great! I've been debating getting one, or just leaving my sg tuned down to B.

Cool. I've been eyeing those for a bit. Especially since I switched playing hands and they make lefty ones. I've been wondering about the quality. Interested to see how it works for you.

Looks like there might not be enough room for a Bigsby.
Body looks nice though.

Depending on how much the body curves I think I could have crammed a B5 in there.

Nice! Baritones are rad and I want one. It boggles my mind that you can buy that for $200
