Agile Hawker Black Flame @ Sam Ash- $155 shipped

Despite the Quagmire butt chin this'll probably be gone soon, a nice deal on what I'm sure is a solid PRS copy.

Laughing my ass off at the last photo of the back of the headstock though, where they couldn't be bothered to wipe the cobwebs off the thing before posting it up for sale

Thats a pretty killer deal actually...hard to find any Agile under $200 anymore.

They left them on purpose because it was going on the web.
Looks like a good catch though, and their shipping IS crazy cheap.

It's on Reverb now as well for $149 and $7.50 shipping with a "make an offer" option. Definitely don't need it but having a hard time resisting putting in an offer for $125.

Yeah not too shabby at all all things considered, think these were $350ish new so $150 used is pretty solid even if you do have to scrape away a couple cobwebs

Their shipping costs are pretty remarkable, I've gotten a few guitars from there and shipping has always been less than $12 which is nearly half of GC's typical shipping cost for guitars. It also makes them a killer place to get pedals (usually $5 versus GC's $12).

Good deal but always thought of this guy when I see that shape.

Yeah when I said Quagmire butt chin in my initial post this is exactly who I was referencing, haha. Much prefer the old Agile PS shape.

Yeah figured that wouldn't last long even with the butt chin at that price. Not surprised it got grabbed within a couple hours.

Just noticed this thread.
Was the hawker the one with a butt-crack?

Yeah I mentioned in my original post that I thought it would go pretty much immediately and it did, it was gone like 3 hours after Sam Ash posted it. Lots of good deals out there on Agiles, but the great deals go fast

I was actually really close to pulling the trigger on that guy, but I had the feeling I would be disappointed as I have been spoiled by my LTDs and Schecters. Now, I'm sure when I finally getting around to buying a top end Agile, it'll be right up there with those guitars, still at a lower price, but I just haven't gotten there yet. I really need to save my gear money up for an Axe FX III cuz that's what I REALLY want.

Actually, I was TOO close to pulling the trigger on this one, so thanks for the Quagmire jokes to dump cold water over my head haha.

I gotta check my Samash used link, seems it didn’t work, thought they stopped doing used. Wouldn’t a bought the hawker, had one, neck didn’t work for me.

Nah they never stopped selling used gear online, their website was being redesigned for a while so it was down (and still doesn't really work as it should but neither does GC's so I guess that's par for the course). It's still https://used.samashmusic.com/

Their used section is actually quite the goldmine, the most insane deal I've ever gotten on a guitar AND the most insane deal I've ever gotten on a pedal both came from them, though I typically buy way more from GC.
