Should i buy an agile guitar

For left handed players, RondoMusic is just a great place in general to go looking for some harder to find body shapes and niche guitars on a budget. Had an Agile AL 12 string. Agile produces an extensive range of acoustic and electric guitars and delivers them at incredibly affordable prices.

I know this is pure chance with humidity, etc. The image above shows a few of the more popular left handed Agile guitars, but know that there are also many other styles available.

Left Handed Guitars. Visit the link at the bottom of the page to see the current stock of left handed Agile guitars. All pre-owned items are rated and scored. Instead of fretting with the left hand, those playing guitar left-handed will fret with their right hand. And lightweight. Rondo also offer a semi-custom service where they allow you to order specific guitars made to your own specs. I lucked into this deal based on research.

Do your homework and make the best decision that works for you and let the major players hear your voice. At the end of the day, you have to be okay with the decision you made. There's some diamonds in the rough. Epiphones will be more expensive cause of the brand, and the designs The Plek system used also adds a few hundred to the cost since that's what it is to get your guitar Plek'd.

So that's where I'm guessing the money goes. That said, there's the opposite of the diamond in the rough extreme Korean make guitars I can't explain it.

Look at the mahogany grain on the back of an epi les paul, and you'll see what I mean. But Epiphone mahogany looks extremely different than Gibson mahogany.

I think it's getting to the point where companies are using something else and are afraid to say so because of "traditions.

I've had korean guitars like JayTurser and they were great, once you get rid of all the hardware, replace the electronics, do a fret level, and that's if you can get past the insanely thick finish that asian companies spray their poly on their guitars. Here is my point. The world is changing. Technology is becoming more affordable and it is hard for Fender and Gibson to compete. Fast forward to today and look at where they are.

The established 3 lost their way and are relegated to inexpensive reality shows and comedies. The overall end result is crap and their market share continues to erode. At the same time, the upstart networks figured out ways to produce and present great content that rivals anything the big 3 could create. We have an entire generation coming up that has very little loyalty to the big 3.

Again, their market share continues to erode year after year and they seem at a loss as to what to do about the problem. As technology becomes more affordable, we are going to see the quality gap decrease and we will no longer be dependent on the major manufacturers for the best product.

Change is hard and no where is it more visible than in established companies. Almost all of them are creating guitars that far surpass the quality available at the local Guitar Center.

The sad news is that many of these companies will be gone by this time next year. Because almost anyone can afford CNC technology today. It is going to happen. History proves it. Look at the print business for example. Where are the typesetters today?

The same thing happened with desktop video editing when Apple introduced Final Cut Pro. Sure the product was crap at first, but they figured it out pretty quick. When this happened my price for services dropped by a third and went down from there. See, they do figure out some things in their favor.

Are Agile guitars good guitars, or good cheap guitars? Thread starter catpeople Start date Jan 4, Messages 3, I did search the forum and didn't find anything recent about this. I'm a bit surprised folks here seem to be crazy about Agiles, which are incredibly cheap, while also being famous notorious?

So I have to wonder: are Agiles good guitars, or just good given their very low price? How's the construction, finish, resonance, etc? I'm really curious, mostly because they make some guitar styles I don't have and wouldn't mind owning without dropping a ton of dough on them. I've had, and sold without much regret, two US-made Peaveys, the Epiphone Masterbilt, an Ibanez or two, and a Samick from back when they were trying very hard to make good guitars.

I've also played and strongly disliked a bunch of lower-priced Fenders, including the new entry-level Classic Vibe Teles that are getting rave reviews, but I like Fenders. Maybe I'm a snob. Messages I have an Agile E1 that I really like the way it plays. I have to admit it doesn't really feel like a more expensive guitar, but I would say yes it is a good guitar. It has a remarkably nice neck with great action. I replaced the pickups, only to put the stock pickups back in again after not liking the change.

So the pickups aren't that bad at all IMO. Great value, nice playing instrument, decent construction. Messages 9, Very good guitars. Pickups and wiring not so much, but many buyers like the pickups.
