Max,

if you played my Agile ST-1600 (strat), TC-1000 (tele), or my custom Septor ... you would think these specific ones were great guitars.

Or we could conclude you have never played a great guitar.

 

[Cheesebuiscut]

The thing is "great" is so subjective...

I've picked up plenty of guitars whether it be in store or something someone else owns and has babied to death in any price range and honestly you don't get what you pay for.

I've never once played a 3000$ anything that felt like I was playing thousands of dollars more of guitar. Considering you can still get a dead piece of wood and QC issues from the big major brands at ANY price point as we have seen plenty of in recent years the points kinda moot.

This. I've played a ton of $3000 Les Pauls/PRS and had this same feeling. The highest build quality I've seen consistently seems to come from high end Jacksons in my humble opinion ($1000+). Can't beat 'em.

Can't say this thread isn't a little helpful in my current situation seeing as I've been thinking of going with Agile to pick up my first 8 string. I really don't want any quality issues like I had with my Loomis.

and i would conclude that you don't realize i've owned over 200 different guitars from close to 50 different companies. ranging from a $3200 PRS custom to pawn shop specials.

i know the difference between a good and great guitar, doesn't matter what brand it is.

Sorry about the Vagueness of this thread I just wanted to see what people thought of agile guitars.
Ive actually done some research on them.
I haven't heard any people complain about them.
But I have heard people talk about how they have heard people complain about " dead planks"
I actually talked to a guy about it on youtube cause he has a Agile and the 7 string I originally wanted.
But after much consideration I will more than likely go for a Agile ( still savinf up the cash, Half way there Wohoo!).
But if i see a good deal on a carvin 7 string i would buy that instead since carvin guitars are my favorite.
Though I can't Afford a carvin mostly because Im still In highschool...lol.
Once I graduate and get a real job Im saving up for a custom Carvin 7 string ( Im gonna spend about 1500$ )
For now though im just gonna go for a agile .

^ if you can find a used Carvin i would absolutely say get it over any Agile. I found my DC747 used on Craigslist for $450 w/hardshell case.

being left handed it's harder, but your a righty so used Carvins are fairly easy to pick up for good prices.

here is one you might be interested in. auction ends in a few hours!

I recently got a used 727 off craigslist in a trade. The one I got I am very pleased with. That being said ordering something sight unseen is always a tricky thing.

I don't know if I would order one direct or not but I will certainly be keeping an eye out for another one on CL if one would come up.

Mine plays great, feels great, and looks amazing.

I love this question

 

[decreebass]

I think if the search engine didn't suck so bad on these forums (and every one), people wouldn't feel the need to constantly re-ask what the veterans consider the same question over and over.

I appreciate the question as I'm considering one too, and I'm sure you all can understand how every little opinion about a guitar can add up to sway the decision one way or another.
