  1. Fuzztone, Thanks for the discussion of the Agiles. I first heard of them at this site and I can see they have a following here. I'm curious about where they're built. There's a range of moderately-priced guitars sweeping through jazz land, the Peerless. Peerless (Korean) makes a variety of styles, including carved and pressed top jazz boxes and several laminates. I'm told jazz players are buying the lams for high volume gigs such as organ trios, to cut feedback, and leaving their carved archtops at home. I'm also told Peerless built the White Falcon and 6120 for Gretsch until recently. They have similar models in production now. Jazz guitar teacher Robert Conti sells a thinline singlecut Peerless as the Rober Conti model. My point in all this is that the headstock inlay on some of the pictured guitars you posted looks like some of the Peerless trim. Also some of the conventional Agile headstock shapes look like Peerless. Does Peerless build the Agile? The Peerless is well-received in jazz guitar circles. Thanks for your comments. http://www.peerlessguitars.co.uk/#/electric/4523582253 http://www.robertconti.com/images/equity/full-front.jpg Fuzztone? Anyone? Inquiring minds want to know.
