well it's an agile, their Tier III guitars.

But yeah... still seems a bit high. Might just be the headstock snob in me.

if i saw it in a store at that price and could test it out, i probably wouldn't have an issue, but unplayed/unseen rondo from the internet its a bit much, but yeah that could also be headstock snob

but oddly if it was a 72 harmony i'd snatch it in a heart beat

The Agiles are made in Korea and are quite nice. They're a great value compared to the lower-end fenders and epiphones.

I'll echo all that's been said already.

Looks great but the price is potentially a bit steep. Looks far hotter with the Bigsby, but price would obviously rise significantly if it had one.

They could put a cheap ass copy bridge on? Theyre like £30-50

Companies like indie do that

i think i ended up paying around $400-500 for an agile harm 12 string, aside from being neck heavy it is a FANTASTIC guitar. i've only heard good things about their les paul copy's. and would definitely consider it against an epiphone.

maybe to keep costs down.

No one would buy it if it was 50-100 more.

Since it has a trapese on it do you think you could put a B7 on? Is there enough room?

that would be my guess too, i still ponder buying more agiles, they really make some cool guitars that are of very respectable quality. i still want to see a 30" scale SJM.
