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.

Gearlist: A few LP's, a Strat, a Tele and a few acoustics.

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.

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!) :lol:

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?

I'd love an AS-2000 and a 12 string Harm

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.

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. :shock:

Come on, you know the rules. And "Pics or it didn't happen" doesn't refer to pieces of paper! :lol:
