Title: Agile owners chime in!
Post by: TonyGibson on September 13, 2006, 05:13:04 PM

What's up guys?

I'm seriously thinking of picking up an Agile LP copy and throwing BKP P-90's in it...either MQ's or the BKP 91 (if I get the P-90 Agile) right out of the gate. I'm becoming less and less happy about bringing my Gibson's out in public due to a bass player almost cracking into mine last night.

So anyway, what's the general consensus here about Agile? I'm looking at this one first:

Or possibly this one (and I'll thrown in Chrome MQ's):
http://www.rondomusic.net/al3000prest.html

But for some odd reason I really like this one...I'm thinking of chrome or possibly BURNT chrome MQ's:

Anyone who loves or hates Agile based on real-world experience, please chime in!

Get the splatted maple capped one :D looks great!
I'll certainly be getting one of their Interceptor 7 strings soon, too bad it's a pain to get one in europe :?

The first one and the last one look pretty cool to me.

I've heard pretty good reports round and about regarding Agiles after a decent set up as well, but I haven't got my hands n one yet.

if you get the chance to try one, and the basic setup and feel seem OK, and the materials aren't pure cr@p, i'd go for it.

BKP-90's are the ticket, by the way. Not much you can't do with them.

The agile Harm 1 Semi does look like my Pat Eggle after a lifetime on the Pies as well.

Definitely get the spalted maple one!  It looks like it's standing up for itself instead of pretending to be a Les Paul.

(The "actual weight is only 10 lbs" spec is a bit scary - sounds pretty damn heavy to me.)

I had one of the semi chambered les paul copies, it was a great guitar - i'd never really played les pauls before but it wa a great intorduction. Stock pickups are not bad really - well worth holding onto for other projects if you bare knuckle it.

I have a 2800 awaiting BKs, that I've played a little. It's got a beefy neck and weighs a TONNE.

I like the large radius (14"), but have not really played it much, b/c the electronics are cr@p. It plays really nice, tho.
