Re: Agile Ghost review...

I'll be going to a University soon, i think im going to pick me up one of these guitars just to be safe. I don't think i would want to bring my Greco Les Paul, its my favorite guitar right now.

I'll just replace the pick ups.

Although they do use some real pearl and abalone on some of their guitars. My wife just bought an Agile acoustic with some pretty nice Abalone inlay work on the body.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I thought so, but they do look pretty good for pearloid in those pictures. They look better than a lot of the pictures of other imports with pearloid inlays I've seen.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Medium....not too fat and not too skinny. Kinda on the wide side 1 5/8ths at the nut...and 2 1/18th at the body

It's got a really nice feel. Comfortable. I particularly like the string spacing (with the width of the neck)

Cool cool...I'd think about getting one of the SG ones if the body didn't look so lame!!

Oh...and no...didn't have to make any mods for the strings to line up over the TB...the spacing matched perfectly!

Re: Agile Ghost review...

Man, I can't wait for the Ghost and the 12 String LP to get here [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
I wonder why the Ghost and the AS-820 were discontinued. Certainly, given the price of Epi Dots and Ibenhad Artcores those things should have been flying off the shelf [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Their loss, I guess ?

Warrior - if your wife decides to sell the as-820 please give me first crack. I REALLY REALLY want one of those !!

Re: Agile Ghost review...

kremit,

it's not the 820 she has...I was wrong.
She bought an HEA-65 acoustic/electric
I got my Agile model #'s confused...LOL!

[kremit]

Re: Agile Ghost review...

Yeah, Rondo emailed me back and said they had a few of the P90 820's left.....but they are $80 more and not nearly as good looking as the model w/ the full covered hums & no pickguard....

Re: Agile Ghost review...

Wow. That looks really nice. the paint on it looks flawless. How is the fretwork Ken?

[VulfgangPfuck]

Re: Agile Ghost review...

Kremit...none left?..that sucks.

Chris...nice action..fretwork is great! I hate Rosewood boards, but I can live with this one!
Overall...nice axe (with my mods of course!...LOL!)

Nice thing is...it's really light for an Explorer!

Re: Agile Ghost review...

Just got my white Ghost today. I still can't believe what I paid for this. The binding, fretwork and finish are flawless. This thing weighs an absolute ton, though (compared to an epi korina explorer & ESP explorer). It's resonant as all hell, so I guess it's decent wood. The rosewood board has some of the tighest grain I've seen (for rosewood). I prefer ebony or maple but at this price I'm not bitching [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Also got the 12 string lp. Heaviest guitar I have ever picked up (an easy 10-11 lbs) I'll post a review on that in another thread later.
