Members mondo_mike Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 have you looked into lowering the neck pickup and raising the bridge pickup? I had a Yamaha SG700s that I was sure had crappy pickups until a tech changed their heights for me... Originally posted by GecKo Do any of you have the problem of the neck pickup being almost twice as loud as the the bridge pickup? The neck is nice and loud and full, but the bridge is quiet and thin.

Members GecKo Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 I think I'll either call Bill Lawrence or try switching the pickups. I got get it to work for awhile if the bridge was hotter than the neck... soo... Its not the pickup height, I tried that. The neck is a little low to where it sounds clear and I raised the bridge as high as I could without touching the strings to try and balance them... oh well. It just means more toys for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ProfaneOath Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 yeah bring on those sound clips! I think I'd probably throw in a pair of either Duncan 59's or Dimarzio PAF's if I got the Agile DC. I like the open-coil look, and it sounds like the covers are welded/soldered to the pickups (like my Raven RM-2000's pickups were). Too bad they don't have it in a purpleburst...

Members skynyrd Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 I don't have an Agile yet, but I'm looking into it. Do they make a full hollow archtop? And bartender, Jack and Coke for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lewzer Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 Does anybody know when the Agile Explorer copies will be on Rondo's website?? I've read that they got one at the store so I'm thinking they might be in earlier than expected...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassmantele Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 I emailed Kurt to ask if he had a particular model and he said he'd put it on the web site if and when it was available. You could always call him, but otherwise it's "hurry up and wait". One red LP Jr Special Agile, please. Yes, that would be with P-90s. No, Gibson, I will not pay $2000 for what was originally a "music school" guitar for kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they make a single pickup version or, better yet, a model with a floating pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling you! You talkin' 'bout one with a suspended neck pup and the mini vol/tone pots mounted discretely on the pickguard! If Kurt put that guitar out I'll be all over it like stank on shit!

Members harold heckuba Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 Originally posted by mute HBO has a show on sometimes late at night called REVERB. i saw a band's guitarist using an agile guitar. i dont remember the band but being on reverb they had to known pretty well. I saw this as well. I made a post about it awhile back and another forumite said he saw it as well and he posted the band name. I cant remember their name, however. BTW, I am now up to 7 Agiles as I just got two Agile E9 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burgess Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 OK, c'mon, you've got to tell us what you plan to do with all those Agiles. Are you modding? Setting them to different tunings? Decorating the house? Changing guits on every tune? Or are you just a GAS-aholic like the rest of us? What gives? And what exactly is the E9 model?

Members AmpliFIRE Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 Originally posted by Burgess So...How is it? I just brought it home today and so far it's awesome! It plays just as good as my LP Standard! The jury is still out on the pup's though. They seem to be a tad harsh IMO. You can't beat is for $200!

Members Burgess Posted July 29, 2003 Members Share Posted July 29, 2003 $200 !?!? What'd you get a blem or something? Great price! Yeah, those p'ups. Some like 'em, some don't. Player's Choice. I'm one that tends to be pretty quick with a soldering iron so I've got lots of paperweights that look just like discrded pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I paid $199 + tax for it . It's in perfect shape, dot a ding on her!!! I'm not sure shy it was marked down, but I wasn't about to ask .

'Scuse my language but this is a bar, right? Yeah, that's it. I've already got a single pickup archtop that I love, but the pickup and controls are mounted on the top, making an otherwise beautiful instrument useless acoustically. There is a Benedetto that has all the features I want, but I don't have that much money, nor could I justify such a purchase if I did. But if Agile were to make an archtop with a floating pickup I'd be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Agile were to make an archtop with a floating pickup I'd be all over it. Believe it or not, Samick makes a guitar that fits that bill. I was pretty shocked when I first saw it. Part of their Greg Bennett line. Though not even in the stratosphere of a Gibby Wes Montgomery, still more money than I'm willing to pay for a Samick at this point. Kurt also carries Samicks and has a better price than I've seen for Samicks anywhere else. Wonder what he'd sell that axe for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can return it if you just don't care for the color. Once it's returned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
