Members Minitruth Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 What would $700 get you in Gibby or Epi? Somebody's used headache (or worse) from Ebay? I'd say the Agiles and Epi's are on par, 'prolly made in the same Korean factory. Edit: Might find something on the SPAM thread here, that's the best choice.

Members ArKay Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 As I understand it those were made because some people wanted quality parts and pickups on them. I can't see anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Old news. That model has been around for a long time. I wouldn't pay that much for it since I'd yank the Jazz/JB combo out straightaway. I'm not big on natural finishes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Maybe they wanted quality parts on them yes, but I doubt they wanted to pay MIJ prices for them I don't consider them overpriced with the SD pickups, ebony board, grover tuners and other Japanese hardware. There are other models with similar specs sans expensive hardware and pickups for a much lesser price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I would expect that the fretwork and overall quality is quite different from a $199 Agile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 I wouldn't buy one either FWIW, but there seems to be a market since people do buy the cheaper models and upgrade them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual additional expenditure for those components would be minimal apart from the pups, and that wouldn't account for 3-400USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other models with similar specs sans expensive hardware and pickups for a much lesser price. Show Me, and I want SD pickups and brass shaft pots with ebony fretboard and 18:1 grover tuners. Don't forget the binding and a a maple cap like the one they show. Throw in Rondo's service to boot. Much less to me would be $350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd even be the same if they started charging $700 for Squiers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I sold my totally unknown Jay Turser tele here and made money on it. A $700 Squier would be a great guitar I reckon, considering what they usually go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
