He'll get SERIOUSLY whacked with VAT and Customs Charges on top of that. UK blows big time in that regard.
Well, the shipping cost would be steep but he could get around the HSC and VAT by having one of us buy it and send it over. Throw a set of Toneriders (UK based, IIRC) in it and you're good to go...
Possible not. I've sent things to the UK marked as a "Gift" and they still hit them with the fees.
Jeez...

It really is the Agile Kirobhan model, pushed by The Great Enabler. ;)

I'm literally waiting for the blue/purple burl to pop back up to buy it. My AL Semi-custom will probably go up on the block soon to fund the purchase...

Thanks guys!

Duty/VAT - Yep, however it arrives, customs are interested . . .

Free healthcare - it’s not free, I have to pay a percentage of my earnings - on top of tax - called National Insurance. Whether I use it or not. (I have private medical care)

The Washburn I bought from Reverb cost me a fortune. I love it and it was worth it though!!

Nope, it is the [mention]tobijohn[/mention] TJ-3200 model. I only did 10 minutes of photoshop work. TJ was able to do the impossible and get many of us to agree on features.

You guys that have / had both the AD-3200 and AL-3200:
I hear tell the AD has a pretty slim neck profile (I may have asked this before in the old neighborhood)-
whats it compare to say, Epi Slim Taper D, or the like.

And: Does the AL have this as well or a more rounded / chunkier neck - say compared to an AL-2000?
I give those examples because I am familiar with them.

I have both the AL and the AD 3200 and they both have more of a modern, slim profile. Definitely not chunky. They say that it is multi-radius, and it is, but it still seems pretty flat. The profile is more similar to a Schecter neck profile to me.
The Epiphone slim D profile feels way chunkier to me.
If your looking for a chunky neck, you will not like any 3200 series Agile. If your into slim/fast/modern feeling necks, you will like them.

[mention]Gergo[/mention] Thanks for that you just saved me from ever buying a 3200. Glad some people enjoy a skinny neck I'm more of a medium to slightly thicker than medium c shape lover.

I had a slim taper AL-3200 and an AD-3200. Both had the same shape neck. I ended returning the AD, and later sold the AL.
Way too slim for my liking.
Amazing guitar besides that though.

Hey All:

Long time lurker on the LAST agile guitar forum--took me a week to re-find you all here. I was watching that thread because I have wanted a double cut agile for a long long time--so thanks to you all for pushing rondo to put another one out and doing all that design inputting. When the first batch finally came out, I missed the them because I couldn't decide on which finish (all of them so showy!). Then by the time I got to the preorder page for the second batch, the ocean burst was all that was left. Which was OK because that the was the one I had finally decided on. And now. . . the unopened box is in my garage! But that said, did rondo ever get in the:

AD-3200MCC Gold P90
AD-3200MCC Silverburst Bound

I never saw those listed and, if they do exist, I would love to see pics.

Thanks all.

I was trying to find that "AD3200MCC are here" or whatever thread from aguitarforum to see if anybody else was getting their ADs; googled AD3200MCC in various ways and over a few days till this thread popped up; pretty familiar with the existing pages about the AD3200 so I realized this must be newer; when I got here I realized you all had relocated! The MOMO site or whatever is totally useless so far as I can tell . . .

Hey, you said you're a long-time lurker.....so you know the rules. Where are the pics of this mythical guitar? :D I'm surprised I'm the first one to say that!
