While called the Rich N Tone Mondo Lite , its certainly not light in performance. Similar to the original Mondo in looks, but different in sound with a redesigned toneboard that makes it looser on the bottom with more finesse, while keeping the rattle in the middle, along with a clean top. Make no bones about it, this is not a reshaped original Mondo. RNT went way back to the black and started fresh to develop the Mondo Lite. It's all about the quack.RNT Rich N Tone
