The build quality of the early MIC Harley Bentons I have (about 7-8 years ago) were pretty much on par with SXs of the same period. However, the build quality of the ones produced in Indonesia the last three years or so is unreal for the price point as doc-knapp mentioned above. I have no Idea how t...

I either have them or have no

I know I'm not near your numbers (I'm under 150), I really don't need more ways to buy more gear. :P My time hunting bstocks at rondo back in the day made me a sucker for anytime I see a good deal. I miss those days of $199 al3k bstocks I'm just grateful I'm not right-handed. If I was, I'd probably...

Wouldn't it be great if these import sellers offered a finished body/neck option?

It certainly looks comfortable. I need one where the arms can be raised as I do most of my playing at my desk... That was my requirement as well, I needed arms that could raise. I went with the chair below it’s been great so far. I've currently got a Herman Miller wannabe which is comfortable enoug...

I forgot to ask earlier, where was the guitar manufactured? TIA...

The lower bout is 15-3/8"

The Agile AS-820/1000s are also 15 3/8", at least the ones I have are. I can't remember if I got a case with any of them but I'l dig around in the closet when I get a chance, and I mean dig...

How wide is it?

Gone real fast, no GM for me! ...Other: last night, left headlights on on Tacoma (disturbed the off-on-exit feature), AAA would not come (heh?

Great review, thanks. I was intrigued by the shape and finish but another project, I do not need. As it stands now, my next of kin will most likely be finishing the ones I already have...

I'm pretty sure that the Grand Marquis is the upscale version of the Crown Victoria, so basically the same car...

I spend an inordinate amount of time at my desk too. What's the make and model? TIA...

looks like a pretty rare agile on reverb, not saying the price is good lol I don't know, this guy wants twice as much for his Agile and it only has half the necks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275303373281?itmmeta=01HT669T9W2GF9JAV99EG4K3D0&hash=item40195c19e1:g:4msAAOSwJ7FiduMV&itmprp=enc%3AAQ...

The only other thing I can think of is if maybe one or the other was going to be played primarily or exclusively, the lower or the higher would be used...

Well, I've got a 1996 Corvette that I've treated even worse than you and the Mazda: 22k miles in 16 years, bought it with 46k, it's now got 68k...

Wow, 17K miles in eight years? You really abused that poor thing. So what, maybe one oil change the entire time you owned it?

FWIW, I have a couple of those Vietnamese AL-3100MCCs, and the build quality is just as good as the Korean ones...

Thanks, I've got a few suggestions as well....
