i thought most of the AL above 2000 have 1-11/6" nut width (except the wide and damn wide)
The 4000 says 1 5/8". Interesting.
The 4000 says 1 5/8". Interesting.
At one point, they were all 1 5/8” at the nut except for the wide 1 3/4” models regardless of model level. It was a common complaint that the Agile AL series didn’t come with a 1 11/16” nut.
According to the dual listing on the Rondo site, it's sold out, not sure how many there were to begin with but probably only two. I think that there have been three separate batches of lefty AD-3200s, this model was also in the second. Of the regulars here, @BatUtilityBelt and I each bought one in the second round which was the first time it was offered. I've got a set of Dimarzio PG-13 minis, pickguard and knob pointers that I will eventually add to mine a for a Deluxe style look...Razzle wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 11:17 am Here's an unusual one (at least for me), not only is it a goldtop AD but it's got two P90's and it's a lefty!
Looking again I see this is a Rondo listing, is this new (off the boat) or has it been there?

Aw that's cool TBJ! I didn't see the details/stock. It's a nice guitar. When did that second batch come in?tobijohn wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 11:41 am

It's my favorite Agile, just a great combination of details. I actually like the stock pickups a lot - Rondo calls them P90s, but they're coil-tappable P100s.
I bought one of those and a CSB plain top AD-3200 the third week of December 2020, bought a Tobacco 2ts AD-3200 (which was the first batch) a little more than a year before that...
I would have thought 4000's had the old headstock. Thats all before my time.tobijohn wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:08 am An AL-4000 just showed up this morning on Reverb. At $600 +shipping, it's not a deal except if you're a collector. However, considering they went for $700 new w/o a HSC, their rarity and the current level of pricing in the used market, if it could be had for $500, I don't think there would be any shame in that:

Wow what an unusual top! Happy Birthday! Was that the 3200 tribal purple?King Lerxst wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 8:11 am
Happy Birthday to me! Bought this lovely Agile last week and it will be perfect as soon as I change the knobs to some that are clear or gold.
I honestly don't know the model as it was a custom order. The color could be Tribal Purple but not sure of that either. It's a neck-through design and super-comfortable to play.Razzle wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 10:14 amWow what an unusual top! Happy Birthday!

I do not understand why, but a lot of Rondo's choices for knobs on their guitars remind me of acne.King Lerxst wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 5:33 pm I removed the pick guard and recently changed out the knobs (I thought the white ones distracted from the beautiful purple finish).
Now I'm thinking about having new pick-ups installed. The originals are okay but I'd like something with a little more clarity and high end tone. Any suggestions?
So the one on the right is your new custom? What's the one on the left?King Lerxst wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 5:33 pm I removed the pick guard and recently changed out the knobs (I thought the white ones distracted from the beautiful purple finish).

They're the same guitar. The one on the left is the way it appeared when I bought it a couple weeks ago and on the right how it looks today without the pick guard and with new volume and tone knobs.Razzle wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:47 amSo the one on the right is your new custom?

You have two really VERY NICE purple Agiles!!! (more than me!)
I´d die for one of those! Yes, it´s a ST-1000 Fat if memory serves well. Would be great if you post a separated NUGD thread once you play it enough for a verdict. Sound samples and/or video would be an enjoyable plus!uglyvw wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 5:21 pm I'm not really sure how rare these are. I remember seeing the agile strats, but not in quite a while. This one popped up locally and I think it still has the original strings. I'm not really a strat with buckers guy, but how can you not pick it up for 100 bucks. I will say the bridge on it is one of the best trem bridges I have ever messed with. I believe it's the ST-1000 Fat
least expensive, I might go with artec Giovanni 1King Lerxst wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 5:33 pm

might be nice on that to keep the single coil basic with hum size p90's.uglyvw wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 5:21 pm I'm not really sure how rare these are.
