Re: Volume/Tone Knobs on Agile Guitars

I thought I'd tag on this as it's somewhat related. On my AL and AD32mcc the tone knobs are very close to the body and not easy pull for the coil taps, especially on the AL's. Would different knobs help this, or do they need to have slightly longer pots?

Re: First minor project guitar

You're right, definitely need angled rings. I'll probably just use the ones the guitar came with. I'll send at least one set of the triple shots back. I've found a wiring diagram that allows the P-Rails to be used with push/pull pots for the tone knobs. Any suggestions on getting a good set of these...

Re: First minor project guitar

Question on pickup rings for P-Rails. The guitar has pickup rings that aren't symmetric. They one for the neck pickup is thinner towards the neck, as is the one that is on the bridge pickup. In addition, the bridge pickup ring is thicker than the one for the neck pickup (see first image). SD has two...

Re: First minor project guitar

I'm going to spend some time playing the guitar and really seeing if the finger board. I like things to look smooth and pretty, so my initial reaction is to do the filler and wet/dry with fb lube. BUT, then again, if it ain't broke... I'm not in any rush, so I'll take my time deciding on how to proc...

Re: Hard to turn bridge studs hard to turn on Agile

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try them. The bridge seems to be pretty solid, and right now getting matching chrome studs is not easy. Is there a drop in bridge upgrade that comes with studs that fits in the same anchors anyone might suggest? Or, will these work for a quick replacement: https:...

I'm not sure if the fact that right after someone says it's creepy then says to count them in is appropriate.

Would it be as inappropriate if I used #MeToo to say I'm in as well?

Re: New Agile AD-3200 now comes with Giovanni pickups. Or do they really?

So here's what I got from Kurt regarding the upgraded Giovanni pickups: 'The GVH-1 pickups started appearing in mid (made after June) 2020 3100 and 3200MCC models. They are currently used in all 3100 and 3200MCC models'. So even though it doesn't say it on the 3100mcc models on the Rondo site, looks...

Hard to turn bridge studs hard to turn on Agile

For some reason, the studs on my Agile AD-3200mcc seem really, really hard to turn. I've pretty much got it set where I want it for now, but I've mangled the studs in the process. Any had this issue, or am I doing something really, really wrong?

I wish I had that kind of skill, lol! It would probably be better for me to get something off the shelf like Giovannis, or see if I could wake up Tim and get a pair of Buddha's. I'd hate to spend like $20-$40 x2 for some Giovanni's and not be happy. Of course, I'm guessing a pair of Buddha's would s...

OK, so I was graciously directed to this old thread when I asked about the Giovanni's still listed on the Rondo site for some AL-3200mcc's but gone from the AD-3200mccs. Bought my AL-3200mcc in mid 2020. The pickups measure at 12.8 and 8.2. ohms in circuit. Have no idea what they are. They're not ba...

I've got a Gibson SG with Classic 57+/Classic 57s in it. I like them, but they are a little smoother than a couple of guitars I have with A5s. I'm not sure that 'smoother' is the right word to describe them in comparison to my A5s; maybe more controlled? The A2s seem brighter my A5s. Again, maybe it...

Anyone know when they started putting these in? I don't frequent the Rondo site very often, and I'm always missing things!

Did anyone get one with these in it, or put them in their AL? If so, how do they sound??

There was a 3200mcc, 24 frets with a floyd, the one that started this post. They're gone now.
