Add Rondo legs to a single neck guitar?
I’m considering adding Rondo legs and sockets to a single neck guitar. I seek opinions about the utility and durability of these legs. Rondo owners?
Thanks

leg
Reading the ad it seems ambiguous as to whether it comes with a socket to mount on the guitar. It's not shown in the picture, and it seems like it's just a replacement leg for their guitars. I would contact them and confirm before ordering.

They are significantly less substantial in both diameter and weight than the std steel guitar legs, like those used in the DeLuxe 34 stands. I think they would be ok for sitting, but there is a lot of wobble when you use them to play standing. The threads piece came loose in one of mine, and I had to have a welding shop fix it. Hard to beat the price, though. If you can find a source for sockets, you might want to check out this guy, who makes them out of microphone stand legs: $75 per set of 3, and he'll likely put whatever threads you prefer in them (he started doing this to make legs that would fit older Fenders (3/4 - 10 threads, I think), but I asked him to make a set with 1/2-13 threads, and it was not a problem.
