Re: SX Guitars/Rondo Music

The Trabant had a fibreglass body, and the engines were extremely shitty. They spewed out black smoke when new, and got worse the older they got.

Well, let's just say that I would rather give the Chinese a few bucks, than the muslim terrorists, and that's who ends up getting money every time you put gas in your car. At least the Chinese don't hijack planes and whatnot.

Dude, you really need to do some homework. Everything you said is wrong! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I don't know about Canada, but the US imports oil from lots of different countries, the minority are Muslim states. There's a pie chart that was discussed about this, I'll find it later, or find the thread. The Chinese do indeed hijack planes, I guess you forgot about the Hainan incident a few years back?

Re: SX Guitars/Rondo Music

All politics aside, you get what you pay for. I've played a couple Agiles and they are what they are advertised as - $200 guitars. This is not negative - the quality is great for the money, and it allows more people access to music.

Still, some Agile fanboys claim that their quality rivals Gibson, which is simply ludicrous.

Wow Ron, you really have a hard on for me lately don't you? Tell you what, why don't you just stop reading my posts. You need to get a life outside of the JCF instead of getting your kicks feeling important by starting lame arguments on a message board. It's really pathetic. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

...and I'll continue to buy Chinese products. I like the Chinese. I like Chinese food, and one day, I might take a trip to China.

You are absolutely correct. A $200 Agile will never be as good as a $2000 Gibson. However, Gibson's quality control should be a lot better considering the cost. In reality, Agile versus Gibson, is more like $500 versus $800, certainly not $200 versus $2000. That isn't to say that all Gibsons aren't worth the money. A friend of mine has a plain jane Les Paul Standard, and it's a truly awesome guitar. The problem is, I've played many LPs that really should not have left the factory. It's a shame. Hell the CEO of Gibson even admits they put the prices up because it actually helps the guitars sell better.

Well, they are not Gibsons..but they are far better products than their prices dictate. If Agiles were American made, with American labr costs, they would be $800 guitars...and that is what they play like. Simple pots and P/U upgrades make them even better.

Yes he is. I assume you have bought a guitar from him. With the one I just bought, the bill shows Canada Customs, and the UPS brokerage fees already added. How the hell can they do that BEFORE they have even shipped it? I had better not get charged again for either of those, or the shit will hit the fan.

Re: SX Guitars/Rondo Music

Nope, I've never bought an Agile. I don't roll with budget guitars, I'm the type who'd rather have 1 great guitar than 5 cheapies.

And it's because UPS are a bunch of bastards, who take $100 or so on a $500 item because they can. Use FedEx if possible.
