I did some homework as Ron suggested, and as it turns out (in 2002 anyway) Canada was the biggest exporter of oil to the US, with Saudi Arabia coming in a close second. It looks like overall, only about 25% of the oil imported by the US actually comes from muslim countries, not exactly a minority, especially when the biggest one is Saudi Arabia. Who's our favourite Saudi terrorist? Another interesting thing, is that it appears Canada exports ONLY to the US, or at least 99%.
It's not a majority percentage, but it's a fair chunk. I don't trust those damn Saudis. Why is Bush so fond of them? I was under the impression, that they were one of the strictest Muslim states. My Dad worked there a few years ago, and he said that the religious police are out in force at all times. Alcohol is illegal, but the compound my Dad worked on brewed their own beer.

How come the US isn't friendly with Lebanon? Or are they, and my info is just really old?

Just what I was thinking! All I really wanted to know was if the SX guitars available at Rondo Music are similar "hidden gems" like the Agiles are....sheesh!

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.
I'm gonna go ahead & agree with Mike here, I just got my Agile I paid 325.00 shipped to my house from Rondo music. I have zero complaints, I might even keep the stock pups but just for now. Like I said on another thread I see what the big deal is about tone when playing Mahogony now. I don't think you'll be disapointed in the product if so they have a good return policy.
Still, some Agile fanboys claim that their quality rivals Gibson, which is simply ludicrous.

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.
