3200 on reverb question

[uwmcscott]

First off, does this belong to anyone here? Looks like a beauty https://reverb.com/item/36639247-agile- ... acco-burst

Second, check out the upper bout where it meets the neck - I seem to remember that most of the more modern 3200s had an extra curve where the upper bout adjoined the neck. This one is defintely a newer one with the MCC designation, but it appears to have a very standard AL style upper bout and joint like a regular set neck AL. Thoutghs, comments, grievences to air?

I'm far from an expert on Agile, but I thought that was on SX versions (before Callisto), like this?

Was thinking the 2019s had the dip maybe the 2018s too . However I am not a 3200 expert but seems like early 2018 maybe late 2017 would be when the dip or curve first showed up. Still seems pricey no matter the age.

Sorry, I should have added a pic of the shape I was referencing in the OP too. This is a photo from rondo of a recent 3200 ...see how there is a little upward curve right where the upper bout adjoins the neck? Older 3200's did not have this, and I believe this version below was at a time when the bodies were also thinned down slightly too. Maybe around 2017 or so as others mentioned

There was a pretty long thread on this same subject on the old site as to when the change to the "curvy" one happened, but for some reason I thought everything since was built like the one below. And the one on reverb is a 2019 so it was just surprising to me that it has the older/straigher upper bout

The 3200 I got new in March of this year has the curve.

Ah, I learned something!

I think Rondo's pages are "out there" even years after product is gone, so if you know the model number, you can find them (oftentimes).

That is correct - the rondo website is still a very old school one, if you do a domain specific search for a particular model you can find them going back many, many years.

I've got that exact one as well as the first iteration of the new style AL-3200 (thinner body, G&B pickups, different factory than the AL-3000 series available at the time) and both have the little upturn at the upper bout/neck seam so that's pretty interesting. FWIW, the new style first appeared towards the end of 2015...
