I just ordered a 2500 in black and i really dont expect it to take on my LP custom.But i will be very happy if it at least is a very good guitar for the bucks:) i have heard many great things about these agiles and finally gave in to temptation to try one:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members batotman Posted April 28, 2005 Members Share Posted April 28, 2005 Far as I'm concerned its just wood and pickups. Make me a guitar out of recycled wood chips for all i care. As long as the frets are level and its got decent pickups I'm game.Amps however are a different story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of truth to that, but the labor costs here vs. in eastern Asia do account for a significant difference in price, don'tcha think?//S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have it handy, but a friend of mine that works for Ford once gave me a breakdown of actual component costs to manufacture a Mustang, and labor costs for each unit including the above benefits. The figures were amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bbreaker Posted April 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2005 Originally posted by GuitarPorter On the Agile with floyd , I always wanted one also but for my price it would be an EPI with a floyd or an older MIJ LP with a floyd but now the Agile is around . What is the neck girth and would would you do presented with an Epi vs AGile with floyd? I think Agile describes the neck as a 50's style.......I think it's more like an early 90's Gibson Les Paul Studio.I've never played an Epi LP with a Floyd but at $279.00 + tax, the 2500 Floyd was hard to turn down.

Members Bbreaker Posted April 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2005 Originally posted by rlee111 not judging just an opinion, maybe expressed a bit harshly but hey sometimes people just wind other people up, and buying an agile just to compare with a gibson (eventually) smaks of just another agile bash (disguised)Their obviously is no comparison ffs a "Gibson 1982 LP Custom" I bought the Agile 2500 Floyd because I've always wanted an LP with a Floyd Rose trem. The curiousity was there too. I'll tell you one thing. $275.00 is a lot of money with only a comparison in mind. I won't spend that kind of money just to do a comparison.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted April 28, 2005 Members Share Posted April 28, 2005 Originally posted by Bbreaker I bought the Gretsch in the early 80's for $150.00 I'd wager that $150 in 1980-82 dollars is equal to or more than $300 today. Even without compounding annually, a 5% annual inflation in the first year yields a $7.50 increase per year, over a span of over 20 years. At 20 years even, times $7.50 increase per year, you've got your second $150. Advantage Agile. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have G.A.S. real bad right now for a white Jap '68 reissue with the big head stock like that . And looking at your guitar isn't helping . . I am trying to wait till the next financial quarter to buy it so I can buy it for less money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
