Quick buying guide

What do Bromo model numbers mean?

Names like BAT2CE and BAR5CE look complicated at first. Here's a simple way to read them.

First: the letters

The first three letters identify the guitar family.

Prefix	Meaning
BAA	Appalachia - value-oriented acoustics
BAT	Tahoma - solid-top acoustics
BAR	Rocky Mountain - all-solid-wood acoustics
BAN	Denali - premium solid-top acoustics
BEN	Fusion Craft - modern amplified nylon-string instruments

The series letters describe the family, not automatically its body size or price.

Next: the number

The number usually helps distinguish the body style or design within that family.

Number	Thumbnail	Common example
1		Dreadnought BAT1, BAR1H
2		Grand Auditorium BAT2CE, BAN2V
4		Hillside Auditorium BAT4CE, BAR4GCE
5		Concert BAR5CE
6		Parlor BAR6E
7		Jumbo BAN7E
8		Mini Jumbo BAN8E VS

The numbers are not a universal size or quality scale. Some series use them differently. Always check the individual guitar's body-shape specification.

Finally: extra letters

E usually indicates onboard electronics. C commonly indicates a cutaway, so CE often means a cutaway acoustic-electric. Other suffixes may specify materials, finish or a particular version.

Example: BAT2CE

BAT = Tahoma family. 2 = Grand Auditorium design. CE = cutaway with electronics. You can confirm it all on the BAT2CE product page.

Find your fit

Which body shape suits you?

A guitar's shape affects both its feel and its acoustic voice. These examples are available to explore through Rondo's actual listings.

Dreadnought

Full-bodied sound for strumming and flatpicking. Example: BAT1.

Grand Auditorium

A versatile shape for strumming and fingerstyle. Example: BAT2CE.

Concert

Comfortable smaller proportions. Example: BAR5CE.

Mini Jumbo

A rounded compact body and shorter scale. Example: BAN8E VS.

A few more things to know

Simple answers, better choices.

Solid top vs. all-solid

A solid-top acoustic has a soundboard made of solid wood, while the back and sides may be layered. An all-solid guitar uses solid wood for the soundboard, back and sides. Both can make excellent instruments.

Acoustic vs. acoustic-electric

For home playing, an unamplified acoustic may be all you need. If you want to connect to an amplifier, PA or recording interface, look for a model with built-in electronics - often indicated by an E in the model code.
