Agile Epic At GC!

These are OUTSTANDING guitars, one of my favorites from Agile. The price is certainly not a steal, but given that these aren't made anymore (and this is the pricier one with Fishman Fluence pickups that's like $600 new) not awful at under $500 shipped.
Some killer specs on this model including a roasted maple neck and board, stainless frets, coil tap, etc. I have one that I scored for $300 and it is one of my favorite Agiles of all time...they rarely come up for sale used so if someone's looking for a killer shredder you'd be hard pressed to do better than this for the $

@slowhand84 can I ask how much yours weighs? I love Agile, but some of my LPs have been 11-12 lbs.

Oh this is no Agile LP haha, not even close. It has an alder body and is pretty lightweight, I've never weighed it but I highly doubt it is anywhere north of 7 lbs.

They weren't around for long but I do remember them. They came in white, flat black, blue and somewhat of an avacado-is green, which Is what I think
@slowhand84 had or has?

They've had several iterations of this Epic model, the first generation had Agile stock pickups, the latest generation had Fishman Fluence pickups, and there were also a couple of 7 strings as well with extended scale:

I have a first generation green one (I call it the watermelon...green finish with basically pink binding!) and the exact same most recent one that I posted here from GC. Really really terrific guitars...think I paid $190 shipped for the greenie and just over $300 for the white one. Easily on par with guitars I've had and played in the $1000 range.

If only the green epic wasn't so...well.. green.

Yeah haha, definitely prefer the look of my white one but for $190 I’m not gonna complain. You’d probably have to spend a grand with most other manufacturers to get a guitar this good.

That guitar was too pointy for me to sacrifice storage space for.

Yeah this is basically Agile's version of an Ibanez RG, except better in many ways

Yeah, sounds like it's a great guitar, it's just not my style.

I hear you, there are certain styles of guitar I just have no interest in regardless of how great the instrument is. Luckily Agile offers lots of choices!
