Post by: Dakine on May 25, 2006, 02:45:22 PM: Happened across this place. Know nothing about them but seems kinda Agile/Rondo Music USA equivalent in UK.

The semis look pretty sweet as well.
Can't see they're gonna be worse than an epiphone, and they're a fair whack cheaper.

If these are anything like the Agiles then should be ok. TO just bought an Agile.

Just thought they were pretty cheap for a guitar to upgrade :)

Yes - I would like a P90 SG too, but I'm concerned that the (odd?) mix of a basswood body with a mahogany cap and a maple neck would not give the same basic sound as an all mahogany original.
