Yay tbh. Do a search - an old housemate had one and I wrote a really cringeworthy review

Doesn't look very light on it's feet to me!

Its the price of a pint so why not. I actally really like the slim profile one with the higher specs for the price of a pint and a packet of bacon fries. But i want that light flame finish

I can't seem to type the other one so Yay!

Are they just epis I wonder? I wouldnt be interested if so!
They seem to have great specs though. Especiall the 3000's with EMGS and Graphite nuts and real flames and everything

I just bought a Agile 2000 version delivered for about €220. I seem to have managed to get away with paying import duty which makes it a real bargain. I need to do a full setup on it especially on the nut. The guitar itself and the electronics are excellent. The only negitave thing I can say is the pickups are crapola. That is easily fixed and I want to experement with some lesser known vintage style pickups... The price would have been less but I was forced into buying a hard case or they would not ship. Go for it.

Ya reckon. Any chance of a few pics?

I have an LP2800 - great guitar, no complaints. The intonation was set superbly before shipping, and the workmanship was top quality. A lot of the Epiphones are shipping with crappy plastic on the tuners, etc, whereas the Agiles are virtually all metal.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't recommend it more highly. I have yet to play a guitar I like better.

Brilliant. I want the Al3000 specs with the finish above. OR! I want the black LP with the EMGs. How do the flames on them come out?

I read somewhere, cant remember where, that agiles are just rebranded as I thinnk either Vintage or SX over here. Could have been on projectguitar.com It was defintately and american site anyway.

Here is a review anyway http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=11419&hl=agile%20guitars&st=15

Well Agile and Sx are from the same crowd. The way I look at it is, if its mahogony, a real maple top, emgs, graph tech nut there is a lot of value there to begin with really. Its not like some mystery wood and a photoflame

sei046

Any pics of those agiles lads?

Agile and SX are not made by the same company.

SX are made by Team International Co. in China.
Agile are made in Korea by another company, I believe it may be UnSung.

Agile is a brand owned by Rondo Music, it just so happens that Rondo also sell SX. But SX isn't their own brand.

Ah I was under the impression from kurt that they made them.

Nah, but he does give that impression to people. He's just a dealer.

Everything I've heard about Agile has been really positive. Guitars with great spec and at great prices. I'd say with a bit of work on the frets and maybe a few hardware changes, they could be made into really nice guitars. I've never played one myself but that seems to be what people say on some other forums.

Frets are perfect. Pots are excellent. Nut may need work. Pickups need changing. I bought mine just to get a a look at one in hand. It is incredible for the price I paid and I will be looking into offloading this and upgrading soon.
