Members Timmott Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just got 2 Agiles this week, an AL3000 and an AL3100. Both are phenominal guitars. Binding one the 3100 I have is a little sloppy near the neck joint but its on the bottom end of the guitar so I never see it. Both play excellent though and aren't as heavy as I was expecting. I've never played a Vintage but you can't go wrong with an Agile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoeBoy Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Frets and Charles own Vintages. Frets did some demo vids. You might find them with the search function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of a drawback to the name- searching for "vintage guitar" nets all kinds of results that aren't related to those specific guitars.

Members Brewski Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Is it Vintage or Vantage? I remember them from back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulojcduarte Posted April 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 Is it Vintage or Vantage? I remember them from back in the day Vintage, they're working with Wilkinson and make a nice Thomas Blug signature strat, a replica of his fender.

Members docjeffrey Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 They're probably made in the same factory:-) I subscribe to Guitar and Bass (UK) and Guitarist (UK) and I've been reading their reviews of various Vintage models for years. They look killer, and they consistently get great reviews, especially since Trev Wilkinson has been involved with their design. I even like the looks of their faux-aged LP style guitars! Agile is the darling of HCEG and some of their models look like custom shop beauties. The specs on the higher priced models are pretty impressive too. Close call, but there's absolutely no way to intelligently decide unless you buy one of each, play them for a few months, and then sell the one that you like the least. Here's a review of one of Vintage's Strat-alikes from Guitar and Bass (.pdf) http://www.jhs.co.uk/reviews/V6JMH_GandB0610.pdf Another review of their SG: http://www.jhs.co.uk/reviews/PickupSeptVS6pdf.pdf Lots more info here: http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 By the way, this Vintage guitar is sweet! Fool SG. I guess that they are not available since there's no "add to cart" button on MusicToyz website: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 Frets and Charles own Vintages. Frets did some demo vids. You might find them with the search function. And Marc ... who actually has two: the same 'Lemon Drop' LP-alike of which I am a happy-bunny owner, plus a rather nice Stratty thing. As for 'Agile v Vintage' ... I guess it's down to local availability and pricing. In Yurp, we don't see Agiles at all at any price (in fact, I'd never even HEARD of them before joining this forum), and Vintages are very sharply priced indeed. In the US, Agiles are plentiful, familiar and affordable, whereas Vintages are comparatively rare beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members russv99 Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 It would be a mistake to spend serious money on any guitar without trying it first. I agree with earlier posters, Vintage guitars get some very good reviews. From what I've read elsewhere they sometimes need a good setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it with my last purchase, 3k on a ibanez jem, but I trust ibanez prestige. Wouldn't do that with Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
