IMHO, that is a tough match up of guitar styles I like. I played the AD3200 in the Rondo NJ store circa 2003 and it was nice, but the fretboard radius was super flat for me. I recall a 59 Gibson-like neck profile.

I've only played the Ibanez Artists of that ilk in the 80's and 90's and they were fantastic, also with a '59 / '60 neck profile. However, the Super 70 and Super 80's pickups in those were far superior to Agile pups, IMHO. Not sure if they are even the same guitar now.

Both guitars came in great finishes. That certainly is a tough pick.

Agile neck profile is way better for me, than the Ibanez's I have tried.
"The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted."

I've never met an Ibanez whose neck didn't cause my fretting hand to cramp.

This shows why, sometimes, variety is important.

I have yet to try an Ibanez of any kind, and have only tried my Agile, so my experience is very limited. Which is good in a way: I have to like what I have, and play the d**n thing! :D
