Tell me all about your agile baritone. Cause it's about the same price as a goddamn converison neck for my tele.
Agile lp bari? AWESOME GUITAR
Really. Awesome bang for your buck. The silverburst finish looks nice in person, no visible flaws or anything. The single creme binding looks cool without looking too corksniffery.
It's a solid slab of a guitar, I'd say a decent 9 or 10 pounds...enough heft but not backbreaking.
Some dig the stock ceramics, I found em so-so and swapped them for a bareknuckle c-pig/a-pig since it was my birthday
Decent hardware/electronics/wiring, didn't see a need to change anything. The pup toggle is more solid than some of my more expensive guitars.
All black hardware is classy as fuck.
The neck is finished nicely, frets level/not sticking out. The neck is painted in the same silverburst as the body, my only gripe about it is that it can get kinda grimey if you sweat like I do.
The uniform 22mm profile neck can be a bit weird if you're not used to it.
As far as playing a 27" scale I can barely tell the difference, it's easy bouncing back to shorter scale necks.
The tuners are solid but a bit slow, I like it that way. I hate how some of my guitars can jump so quickly in pitch after only slight adjustments to the tuners.
Ready to play out of the box, no intention/action correction needed. I use it for anything between B standard and down to Drop F#.
There is one on fleabay right now with sweet ass dimarzios, the same humbuckers I have in my toronado. They'd actually be perfect in this guitar

If you want a true baritone/bass vi-ish type check out the Agile Argus, those are pretty awesome as well and they come in single coil/toaster versions.
