Re: Mitchell guitars anybody? Just found them...

They're the house brand for guitar center/ musicians friend, so probably unknown outside the US . I have their single cut, it is a very well made, nice playing and sounding instrument. Zero complaints. Mine is the ms400, which has a thicker neck compared to the ms450, which I prefer. Mine was made i...

Re: Buy, Sell or Hold?

Got too many guitars, and the thought of getting more produces more stress than the joy of getting one. I have all my bases covered and then some. When I did buy, it was mostly used, and the used market is still very high. I should be selling some, but I'm a bit too attached to the ones I have. That...

Re: Agile ST-1000 RN 3TS Quiltopinions

At this price point, you might be better off with a MIM strat, though you'll have to hunt for a deal for that too. Much better resale value. Here's one for $650 shipped. https://www.adorama.com/fe0144570002.html?sdtid=15871525&sterm=S0ozzwx87xyITbvyo0WQI33oUkDwgyUpATpp3o0&utm_source=rflaid62...

Re: Agile AL 3k With no inlays, no binding?

I can't recall such a stock model (though Kurt will occasionally offer a batch with unusual features).
If I had to guess, it's a custom or a semi-custom.
But Kurt usually responds - and if you give him a serial number he'll be able to track it down.

Re: Heck of an argument against tone wood affecting electric guitars

I find it funny that people rant about how tonewood makes no difference, but then turn abound and have to point out when a Les Paul copy has a maple cap as opposed to just being solid mahogany. I don't think there are people who hold both of those opinions simultaneously. The last part is exactly t...

Re: CSB Fade

Remember old agf member tsuykiyomi? is that right, somehow managed to take his burst into dirty lemon territory, I believe by extra light and careful sanding away of the top burst layer, with very fine sandpaper. The orange burst is applied over a yellow stained finish, and usually there is a clear...

They have it, they're just not willing to ship it to the US. They are willing to send it to Canada though.
Probably just weirdly labeled in their ordering system.

Re: Heck of an argument against tone wood affecting electric guitars

Rather than solving anything, now you'll just get more arguments about what is the best tone air. He was probably using the common Nitrogen/Oxygen combo, but did he try it on Helium? I hear Carbon-dioxide really brightens the tone. :)

Re: CSB Fade

Add a pickguard? You'll be able to hide about 20% of that burst. Replace the knobs with something more eye-catching? Or do what I did, and learn to live with it. Your burst is on the good side of CSB's, it could have been much more clown-like. Look at a bunch of old Jimmy Page photos, and think how ...

Re: PSA - the deal thread

Really good deal on these single cuts from GC. Reminiscent of PRS SC or ESP ltd ec-256, but for a fraction of the price. 3 finishes are going for $199, one for $249. You can probably get them price matched at MF and get 8% back in MF points. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Mitchell/MS450-Shallow-Body-S...

OK, the fourth one of the pre-order is now up so that should be it. Kurt also raised the price on what I assume is the last of the lot to $170. I paid $150 and the one @honyock bought was $125. I don't recall what the price of the second one was. He probably could have gotten more for them but I as...
