It's loud as hell unplugged, sustains forever, and plays like a dream. Even the stock pickups were OK, though the guitar really got taken up a notch when I tossed in some Bareknuckle Mules and added push-pull pots, and some custom knobs to even out the aesthetics. I've never even had it set up since I purchased it, and it hasn't needed any adjusting in the many years I've owned it.
This is the guitar I throw at anyone who comes over to jam (or came over I should say, since we're now in Covid times) as a demonstration of what the good folks at Agile are capable of producing for not a lot of scratch. Even though I'm guessing that guitar was close to $900-$1000 as ordered, it still completely destroys any semihollow I've played including numerous Gibsons. Just has that "it" factor.
Some crappy pics, because for some reason the light was weird today and this is also one of the hardest guitars for me to photograph (back pics coming tomorrow, ran outta light!)
