Looks like it could be made in the same factory making the Douglas that Rondo is selling.  Different bridge and headstock.  Rondo's shipping  to CT should be a lot cheaper and their customer service is topnotch.  I'd go with Kurt  and the slightly higher overall price.  I do like that headstock better than the Douglas, all it needs are some clover Hipshots.

Don't know a thing about them, but they look pretty nice.  As long as that bridge will intonate OK, you should have a good instrument to play with.

They don't list the brand name, probably a good idea b/c it looks like Maestro and that name is trademarked by Gibson.
