$549...killer deal. Upper neck access looks phenominal. HEAVY GUITAR ALERT! Probably in the 11-13 lb area because of the Neck Thru.

Yep on what you et for the money it's tops. I wouldn't be surprised if people who play it feel like it's a $ 1000 guitar. If I were to get another guitar this year it would be a mid level Gretsch or a used Gibson SG. But only because I've got gas for them.

look at a PRS SE when made in S. Korea, there is nothing that differentiates their $800+guitar WRT quality from an Agile Harm or AL3200 that I paid less combined new from Rondo.

I have been agile-less for quite some time now, and this one is on the short list if i were to buy another. The AL- series is what brought me to Rondo ( and AGF ) way back when, but I really like this model. I wish he would offer it in a standard flame/burst ( TSB, CSB, Lemon, tobacco, etc )

You certainly can, but the shipping would likely kill the deal.

I got one of those in Oceanburst when they first came out. Super nice guitar, I'm very happy with it.

I´d have to add to the price of the guitar AND the hard case, something around $140 for having it here at my door. A bit steep.

But to make things even, [mention]UrenragK[/mention] can get landys of all sort and colors there - wish I could -.

The AD-3200 is a really great guitar. Mine is also a bit over 9 lbs, only the lefty’s were over 10 if I remember correctly.

They have a thin neck (I like) and the best upper fret access you could ever ask for. They do the LP thing without looking like a Gibson clone and the neck through, ebony fretboard and maple cap gives them a nice bright acoustic tone.

The stock pickups are dark and dull however, so add a set of proper PAF clones or other more articulate pickups to the budget in order get the most out of this guitar.

Since I got my first one, I haven’t played my setneck Agile at all, and I will eventually get another AD-3200 and sell the AL-3000 if Kurt keeps stocking them.

He'll get SERIOUSLY whacked with VAT and Customs Charges on top of that. UK blows big time in that regard.

I did have to buy the $80 case and $90 for shipping (to Hawaii) when I ordered mine. I only did so because I had a small part in the design discussions for the model.

Do we know which colors/finishes? All at that price point? I gotta say I don't love the pic on the rondo site. But the one on [mention]Kirobhan[/mention] wall is drop dead gorgeous.

Sorry to say that the color in my picture is not accurate. It does look closer to the rondo picture in color except that the burst transition isn’t as stark.

[mention]tobijohn[/mention] may have some insight into the colors that might be coming. I seem to recall a as gold top with p90s mentioned.

From Kurt's email 5/20/20;

AD-3200MCC Gold P90
AD-3200MCC Satin Blue / Purple Burl
AD-3200MCC Silverburst Bound
AD-3200MCC Oceanburst

All right-handed, due in August. the factory forgot about the lefty AD-3200MCC CSBF model so sometime towards the end of the year for that...

Well, the shipping cost would be steep but he could get around the HSC and VAT by having one of us buy it and send it over. Throw a set of Toneriders (UK based, IIRC) in it and you're good to go...

Possibly not. I've sent things to the UK marked as a "Gift" and they still hit them with the fees.
