Kurt currently has the AGILE AL-3100MCC BLACK QUILT P90 available as an advanced order with January 16th as the estimated delivery date.

In my opinion this is a super classy looking Agile AL. It has the elegant styling of a Custom LP, while simultaneously offering the supreme simplicity of a fixed bridge, single pup, single knob instrument. That configuration is great antidote for option paralysis, essentially saying, "You get one tone, use your hands and make it work."

And of course it wouldn't be a proper Rondo listing without the requisite typo, which is part of the Rondo charm. :lol:

I dont know. Im more of a neck pup lover. And more of a 2TSB plaintop guy than tribal or quilt types of finish. And I like tone knobs, although I do like the idea of "make it work".
My mind moves toward one further improvement in that simpler direction....a one string guitar. I know, I'm being ridiculous.
While it may be not for me,
it is great to see rondo regrowing its offerings. If it had just the neck pickup, I'ld be a little more enticed.

Ahhh . . . that longstanding debate, single neck pup or single bridge pup; or, as we guitarist would put it, "Charlie Christian or Johnny Thunders?"

I get you about the neck pickup too, somuchso that I'm presently on the verge of wiring in the dummy single coil that came in my EVH Frankie Relic. Despite all my bluster about parred down simplicity, I can't seem to live without that neck pup. :D

I've only had a few Agile guitars still have a PS900 I'm thinking of selling it's a great guitar everything has been upgraded and it's not real heavy. Weight was why I sold mine but my AL3200 was a great guitar but was over 10 lbs so I sold it.

They had a Goldtop like that back in the day but I never got it because I put guitars on the neck pup and tear off the switch. Okay, so every now and again I use the bridge pup but it is rare. Of course I would never order anything from Kurt again but good luck if you do.

Really? You like that one more than this?

But in all seriousness, this one appeals to me a lot more:

Good looking, yeah.

In my case, I´ll take this home (not much of a blue color man - on guitars -, but I like it, and it´s a wide nut model, so, yeah, I´d bite it!)

Me too. But saying that makes me sound like my father, "Back on my day you could buy <insert product> for <insert stupid low price>." 😂

Needs a wraptail bridge. Remember the gold cyclops?
