Customer Comments

Hi Kurt, I just wanted to let you know that my beautiful Bromo Bar 5CE guitar arrived today in perfect condition. I am a very satisfied customer and the Bromo Bar 5CE lives up to all the hype and does not disappoint. All the appointments and ornamentation as well as the wood grain color and markings look incredible and ultra high end. The satin finish is very nice and silky smooth in the hands and feels great . I can't find a single imperfection in the finish anywhere on this guitar. I am also very happy to report that there is no fret sprout. I was worried that after its long travels from Indonesia, to you, and then to me that fret sprout might occur. The tone of the guitar sounds nice as well and the action is comfortable to play. I tried out the pickup and it works fine and projects the natural tone without sounds electronic. Thank you for getting this to me so quickly, and in perfect condition. I will be sure to recommend this Bromo Bar 5CE guitar as well as your website to every guitarist I meet. 10-29-2025

Warm Regards,

Hi Kurt

For me BAR5CE has the similar feel and playability as Taylor builder edition 8xx. I barely can find difference between them. If you attached to brands and want invest to Martin, Taylor or Gibson nothing wrong, but world is bigger, they don't have access to all available wood.

Thank you, Alexey Andre

I purchased the Bromo BAR 5 CE acoustic guitar from Rondo Music. I live in Florida but I'm originally from Vermont and have purchased music equipment from Rondo Music in the past. I received the Bromo acoustic in just 3 days! I purchased this guitar after seeing a YouTube video review and it looked too good to be be true and expected I may need to return the guitar. The YouTube review was 100% accurate! I was blown away by the build quality and sound of this guitar. Highly recommend Rondo!!!! - Mike McG on Reverb

Answer: Yes bromo models with "E" or "CE" in the suffix are acoustic / electric models and have a battery. The battery is located near the jack where the cord is plugged in see photo. The battery type is 9v. Please be sure to orient the batter such at the larger terminal matches up with the larger slot (see photo). Note that the pickup is activated when the cord is plugged in, so be sure to unplug the cord after each use to prevent battery drain.
