Members Burgess Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 What is forced air heating? But yes... it was cold enough I had to turn my heating on for a week at night. I haven't had to do that since I have been living on my own. It's more about the humidity than it is the temperature. If you're running the heater then your house is probably very dry and that will cause some guitars to have issues. Mind you, some will be just fine while others will need a truss rod tweek at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 If that were true, it might be because the title of the thread includes "....honest opinion/not another glowing review", suggesting that all the good reviews were dishonest.But obviously it isn't true, as others are trying to help with suggestions as opposed your posts that have one intent - knocking Agile owners.Very helpful. Where did I knock anyone? I told the OP that Agile is a hugely popular brand around here and anyone knocking it is going to get a furious backlash over it. So far, I'd say that's about accurate and I'd expect it to get uglier as the day goes on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will Chen Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 I disagree.. Truss rod adjustment is purely for setting relief and bridge height for action. Both are subject to player tastes. Intonation is absolutely set by the distance of string from nut to saddle and should be set after the action has been set. Being in tune is not subjective.

When the truss rod is adjusted, the nut moves.. When the nut moves, string length changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcindc Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 Both truss rod and bridge height adjustments have an effect on intonation. That's why intonation is set last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intonation is absolutely set by the distance of string from nut to saddle and should be set after the action has been set. Being in tune is not subjective. I've had guitars where the action has affected the intonation. The action being high causes the string to go sharp because it has farther to travel before it's fretted. I mean yeah, the action has to be pretty high and it depends on the gauge but I've had it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benricci Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 we can't even establish if the OP has a strobe tuner.... So what? What does that have to do with the guitar being a piece of {censored}? I don't get why everyone is so quick to defend these things. They are cheap-ass guitars, and there are bound to be a number of them that are just plain {censored}. Perhaps this is one. Having a strobe tuner is not gonna magically polish this turd.

Members TDBlooz Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 we can't even establish if the OP has a strobe tuner.... However we have established that he has no working clue about intonation. He really doesn't need a strobe to do a 'decent' intonation - it won't be perfect, but guitars typically never are (or never are everywhere on the neck, or never for very long.) He does need a reasonable accurate tuner though. And some instruction on intonation. And the willingness to do it. Hell, I do it on every string change. Edit: FTR: I do not, nor have ever owned an agile. But I'm skeptical of the opinion of anyone who does not understand basic intonation. It like saying a Ford is a POS because the timing is off.

I'm very picky about my intonation, cuz I do a lot of clean playing and chords above the 12th fret.. When there is a problem, it screams very loudly in my playing..

Members RaVenCAD Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 RavenCAD, you're trolling. and you are fanboy-ing.. You cannot accept that this guitar might be a turd, yet you'd fully accept that a Gibson could have this problem.. I'm sorry, but bent bridge posts and warped necks happen to all brands, even your precious Agile.. I'll admit, I'm poking fun in most of this thread, but the fact ramains that anyone defaming an Agile around here provokes a {censored} load of fanboys.. Like yourself =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FUBTAG Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 A guitar can only be deemed a 'turd' when the individual making a claim is of the level being abel to ascertain it himself. The OP can't intonate an Agile.. let alone if it were a Fender, a Gibson or any other guitar... I think the problem lies between the floor and the guitar at this point.

I'm hardly a fan boy of Agile. I like em, but that doesn't make me a fanboy. Certainly not like you and your Carvins. Gah. I've got 11 Agiles, and 6 Gibsons, and 4 Fenders. How is that fanboy? Perhaps you guys are just douchebags. Yep that's it. Help the boy out or step off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
