This thread interests me. I've been sooo close to pulling the trigger on one of those Root beer ALs or a baritone to fuck around in super low tunings.

Please note I have no first-hand experience so everything is all relayed information/metalkingoutofmyass.

I hear the stock pick-ups are crap and should be replaced. Usually they arrive in good nick and customer service is pretty good if you live within America. Some people have had issues ordering them in (damaged/neck not aligned well etc), if they are overseas, so if you're not in America, maybe look at something else because with shipping and possible income tax added on, might be cheaper to go local.

I have an AL-2000. It's a pretty nice guitar.

Pros:
- Nice wood.
- Good neck with nice fretwork.
- Nice tuners.
- Playable right out of the box

Cons:
- Super glossy finish looks like a toy, not a guitar. I hit my whole guitar with scotchbright and a random orbital sander, and then polished it back up to a reasonable shine. It looked like plastic. Now it looks like wood.
- Minor finish problems (paint over binding in some spots).
- Heavy.

This was on a $225 guitar. I would put it, in terms of quality, well above my SX Furrian and above both of my sub-$200 Indonesian Squiers, but (not too far) below my MIM Strat, all bought in the last year or two.

I would imagine that they are all super glossy, and heavy. At a higher price, I would expect the finish to stay within the lines. I am totally happy with my guitar.

Paying 700 dollars for an agile is cray. That is all.

Wow, that's cool. Move that shit to the neck position and I'd get one. I also think the headstock is pretty sweet. It's not ugly by any means... in fact it looks really good. Be thankful that it's not abhorrent.

If the Agile quality for the price is anything like SX's, you would be getting a good deal. That said, I have never played an Agile or heard of the quality. But they look good and the price is right.

I'm not really one to talk, but save up a few hundred more dollars and buy something a little nicer. That's what I think.
