Agiles are throw away guitars. Kiesel is heirloom quality. They can’t be compared.

I own both agiles and kiesels. Agiles are quite good for their pricepoint, as are Kiesels. That's where the similarities end imo.
Comparing two guitars with such different price points, should be done not with each other but against their individual price. Which one offers the best value-for-money percentage?
The Agiles have a good reputation but are not the guitar that you will show off to your friends or brag about. Then again, you do not need to sell a liver to buy and can be easily resold or returned (new purchase) if you do not like it. They are workhorses which stand well against others in their league, they also use Kahlers frequently so I am biased.
The Kiesels are much more expensive but will definitely place your sound on a higher level and the craftmanship will be superior. Their quality control has been under scrutiny lately, as the company grows and negative feedback has come forward from some on their options. They seem like good guitars as well for their price league.
This is not a case of apples and oranges, more like apples and mangos, I guess.
Right?
Jeff, is that you?
Diminishing returns for sound quality related to guitars, particularly the pickups that come stock, kick in a lot sooner than Kiesel price points.
To some, just as Japan is an assumed exemption from "Asian guitars", Kiesel is a separate consideration from "USA" guitars.
Kiesel prices are skyrocketing lately and you can score an Agile pretty cheaply. Just add some EMGs afterwards and you push the brakes on that matter to some extent. Are we comparing the overall money lost on resale or the percentage based on the original price?
that's also because california keeps instituting stupid taxes and such, forcing jeff to increase prices. i won't buy a new kiesel because of that now.
japan is not the same as china, don't even start that shit.
Jesus, dude. What "shit" is being started? I literally said that Japan is the exception...and since when is "asia" only meaning "china" anyway?
