Members Thunderbroom Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm likely going to ask about this on the guitar forum as well but was wondering what folks think about the Agile line of instruments carried by Kurt. After playing my guitarist's guitar at rehearsal, I really got the itch to investigate the baritone again. While I'm somewhat settled on an Eastman Sidejack (but would like to get my hands on one first if possible), I really like the look of this one from Agile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wow! I love that finish. I've heard that the Agiles are a big step above SX. They're made in a different factory from what I can gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlwarriner Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 side-jack on the thread. a baritone guitar - it's tuned at the octave between a bass and a regular guitar, right? can one string any "regular" guitar with bari strings?

Members baracuda2004 Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 I've played 1 Agile and I am going to compare the feel of it to my old guitarist Gibson M-III. I liked it so much better then an SX. I'd have to compare the necks on the Agile to the one on my Ibanez SA260M. I have never played the baritone though.

Moderators ThudMaker Posted April 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2008 I had an Agile LP style 12 string. I believe it was the AL-2500 12. I would put the quality up against any (ANY) Epiphone for quality/fit/finish. The Agile quality is above that of SX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the nut won't be slotted for the significantly heavier gauge strings. A baritone is tuned B to B generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 It would be more fun if it had a wiggle stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlueEcho811 Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 When you buy an Agile expect a guitar that is 2.5x the quality of what you paid for it. Almost everyone I know that plays guitar has an Agile (Our guitarist, my cousin, myself, our drummer, etc...) and they are amazing. I love my AL-2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
