It will be interesting to see what the winner will be. I am pretty sure I know. When I started thinking about this, I realized that there are way more than 10. These are the first that popped into my head. Feel free to mention other models.

Actually, I think they still do make most of those on occasion - maybe not the exact model of AL, but several variants. Harms and Valk's still show up from time to time, but the latest pandemic/supply chain issues have really cut back on everything I think. Argus hasn't been around for a long time though, same with Cool Cat. As far as hollow bodies though, I'd probably go with a Gretsch Electromatic over anything from Rondo.
But getting back to your original question, the PS-4000 is the one i'd really want if they ever made one again.

AS-2000
semihollow, the smaller size of a Gibson339, and made of all solid woods, not laminated wood so its a different beast.
Full body chambers are routed out of solid mahogany. Has a center block
Solid arched maple top. Its a semi-hollow DC les paul.
Had 3 at one point, sold one of them.

You left out the PS and AD models which would have gotten my vote pre AD-3200.

Harm 1 gets my vote.
My favorite Agile & I'd love to have a CSB one.

The Flying Vs.
Strats & teles are a penny a dozen.
LP & SG styles are a nickel a dozen.
Rickenbacker and Semi-Hollow styles are a dime a dozen.
Vs made by non-major brands don't even come in a dozen, and decent ones are even less abundant.

I voted for the AS820 but really I mean the AS1000. My custom shop AS-1000 is the most impressive Agile I've ever had, just an absolutely incredible instrument and cost me a whopping $199 (thanks GC!)

The AD2300 was such a great model. The old 2500s were great.

Methinks @kurtzentmaier could make a boatload if he re-issued the back catalog.
I totally forgot about the Argus.
Wouldn't it be awesome if he could still host the links to those old models so we could reminisce?

For me hands down my PS900 I must admit I changed the pups to a SD 59 and JB and spent longer setting it up than I did doing setting up a guitar when I was learning how to do a set-up but now this thing is an absolute beast.

I'd vote for the AL-2000 but with a floyd. I think it's one of the best guitars Rondo ever made, and with 24 frets! One of the most underrated Agile's ever.
Rondo isn't making ANY more floyd models these days.

I voted explorer / ghost. Absolutely love the ghost pro that I got last spring
The ALs with Floyd are cool too.
Reaper? Hornet? Lol

I was going between the as820 and the Harm I decided Harm as I'm sure I'd really like it.

Umm I see the bill of sale, but you said it was an Agile.
Come on, you know the rules. And "Pics or it didn't happen" doesn't refer to pieces of paper!
Don't tease us like this!!!
