Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted July 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2006 Originally posted by keNz The videos they post on their ebay auctions are a really nice touch! I might buy a bass from them. Absolutely, and from Chris's manner his ability to deal with customers seems to far outweigh Kurts single word answers to complex questions. That Thinline is a lovely guitar at $159 with a case. But still only shipping within CONUS Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris Ward Posted July 23, 2006 Members Share Posted July 23, 2006 Thanks for the question. I just spoke with Randy (who handles all of our listings) and he said that we could ship to the UK for $65, no problem. I am not sure why we don't indicate that fact on the listing. If you would like to place a direct order for one of the instruments, just call Randy or me at 1-800-281-6607 M-F 9-5 CST. Hope this helps!

Members slvrsrpnt Posted July 23, 2006 Members Share Posted July 23, 2006 these are pretty nice lookinghttp://cgi.ebay.com/OSP-AE-608W-TBL-DOUBLE-CUT-HH-FMT-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-W-HSC_W0QQitemZ110004488226QQihZ001QQcategoryZ2384QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris Ward Posted July 23, 2006 Members Share Posted July 23, 2006 That is one of our more popular models. It is nicer than some of our others because it has Wilkinson hardware and pickups. In the video, Jimmy Darr in our Little Rock, AR store did a great job of showing the instrument's versatility and tone. Thanks for posting the great pics. Give us a call at 1-800-281-6607 should you wish to try one out! Chris Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Rookie Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 WAIT A MINUTE! As for them given Agile (Rondo Music) a run for their money, I don't think so. I got the AE-301 in green. Fast shipping, got it in a couple of days. Next the finish didn't look to bad on first quick inspection, nice thick neck. Took it to my local setup guy who no sooner than he could remove it from the case said, 'man look at these frets they are not straight"! I could see at least three frets that were badly crocked right off the bat. And he started to point out more bad frets, some where around nine that were crocked (curved) or were installed at an angle.Now I have had to send a least two guitars back to Rondo with no problem and was refunded up to what it cost them to ship the guitar to me, which I had no problem with and have continued to purchase guitars from them.Contacted Sigler Music who said that they would refund me, but not for the return shipping on the guitar. I clearly explained to them the problem and they understood.They offer to send me another, but what if that one was screwed up and I had to return it, that would have put me another $25.00 or so in the hole to ship it back to them. I have not left them feedback even though they have left positve feedback for me. And have wondering should I go negative or just forget about it.Click on the link below to see a simular model, I had the green one.http://cgi.ebay.com/OSP-AE-301-H-S-S-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-NO-RESERVE-34_W0QQitemZ110179866673QQihZ001QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueshawk1 Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Whoa! Wish I'd seen this thread when it originally started - giving Agile a run for their money - I doubt it! I bought one of their strat copies earlier this year - what a total piece of {censored}!!! And that free case - again, a total piece of {censored}! And they didn't even send the whammy bar - brand new guitar and it didn't even have all the parts. I did contact them, got no response. If anyone got a good OSP guitar, it was no doubt an accident. I read some reviews of these in the Agile forum as well, same thing as reported by Old Rookie - crooked frets seem to be one of their biggest problems. Anyone thinking about an OSP because it seems like such a good deal with a case too - believe me, this is one time when "too good to be true" applies - skip it, forget it, it's pure 100% crap!

Members Assumer Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 My local shop sells OSP. Sigler Music. Man, every one I have picked up has played terrible. Could be a set up or lack of one but I am not impressed. I was excited because they stock tons of lefties but I could not find any that played well. they are nice looking guitars.

Members mateo150 Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 I bought both, Agile is better. A lot better, especially in the long run and how the guitar holds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Rookie Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hands down the Agile is much, much better. The OSP guitars are not anywhere near an SX let alone Agile.:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Scafeets Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yeah, and it's pretty telling that Chris Ward bailed when it turned bad, isn''t it? Hopefully, he's giving hell to whoever was in charge of QC. There's no excuse for selling shoddy gear in the US when there are quality factories in Asia. What it takes, however, is a stateside distributor/reseller who can maintain high standards by sending the junk back. Like I said: Eastman, Sadowsky, PRS, Parker , Raven West and Agile have shown the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notryt Posted July 14, 2011 Members Share Posted July 14, 2011 I own a LP stencil OSP and after changing out the bridge nut and pickups (giovanni). It is better than my epiphone LP standard, playability and tone . (both are identical in weight at 8.8 lbs) Yes, it really had to be setup, truss rod adjustment..intonation (required a new bridge) and a new nut. stock plastic nut was stupid.. stings were a full 1/8 inch off the fret board, impossible to barr chord...replaced with a tusq and now its great...When it comes to LP style guitars, my Agile 3000 is my #1 the OSP #2 (decent LP lefties are a bit harder to acquire) If you are willing to put the time and money into the OSP LP copy.. it is one fine guitar.. Agile AL-3000other NON-LP lefty guitars 2 strats 1 MIM the other Tex-mex Epiphone G-400 (seymour duncans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Scafeets Posted July 15, 2011 Members Share Posted July 15, 2011 zombie thread!!!!!! We could enhance it by asking if Agile guitars would be better than OSP in a cover band playing Brown Eyed Girl or in an original band playing for free......

Members Steadfastly Posted July 15, 2011 Members Share Posted July 15, 2011 Im looking to buy a good blues guitar, anyone know if those would be a good buy for blues? Espescially the red one...Yes, they are but the red ones are only good for red blues. You'll require a blue one for blue blues.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notryt Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 looks the same as the original osp Les paul... If you want to see it Its up for sale on toledos craigslist (les paul standard copy). Playability is quite another story, The OSP has a more classic 50's Les Paul tone, Agile AL-3000 hotter pickups and more visual detail.http://toledo.craigslist.org/msg/2508022012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
