Meh, I would still rather have the Agile with the real pearl inlays. Epiphone makes a solid guitar but given what Agile offers for several hundred less (and even cheaper used, I've paid $200ish for most of mine) there's just no draw for me to go to Epiphone except that the body shape is more "correct", which isn't worth $300-$500 to me. I've played dozens of Epis but none of them have matched the quality of the Agiles I've owned.nomadh wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:42 pm Anyone seen some of these new epis? Ebony board, shaved heel, alnico pups, asymmetric neck, figured top, weight relief and a decent looking back. For $700
Epi is upping their game. And with the price of agile the game is seriously narrowing. If this was the price/feature ratio back when I got my agiles I may have been an epi owner.

Shark attack?
Liverburst?
The Inspired By Gibson series is pretty impressive as is the new SG. I bought one of each on a well discounted preorder late last summer and was impressed with the build quality of both (Gold Top LP and Arctic white batwing SG)...fatjack wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 9:12 pm I will say I was half in jest earier at the lefty selection. No great models like the other hand but 4 decent colors to choose from at 600 but laurel fretboards . It's like Agile 2800 with pointy horns and gibby headstocs at twice what the equal went for. For 150 to 200 over a current 3100 it better sound and feel better than the 3100. and I have been spoiled by ebony, even the cheap gabon stuff. on a tangent I'd love to see a timber wood company plant some Perssimon to grow long enough to harvest for fingerboard violin bow usage.

Nah, as someone who has owned many Gibsons in the past before discovering Agile years ago I know the 40% thing to be a myththepezident wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:02 amAre you referencing the 40% equation?slowhand84 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 3:10 pm I've paid $200ish for most of mine) there's just no draw for me to go to Epiphone except that the body shape is more "correct", which isn't worth $300-$500 to me.

. Just saying Agile overall always impressed me way more than Epi ever did.
