The Watering Hole

For several months I have been using my Agile PS4000 and my Schecter C1 Classic as my two main guitars. They have some similarities; both have mahogany bodies, both have Seymour Duncan JB and '59 pickups.

The Agile has a set neck, the C1 is neck thru body. Agile has a wrap around bridge, C1 has a Tone Pros Tuneomatic type.

Both guitars have a maple cap, although the Agile has a really nice fat, 3/4" cap.

Agile has a nicer fretboard, ebony, C1 has a rosewood board.

The very surprising thing is that the Agile seems to be just a better guitar. It holds up under abuse much better, has a more articulate sound and more balls. Even though both guitars have the same pickups, the sonic differences are very clear.

Kind of surprised comparing the two. Not that the Schecter is a "bad" guitar, just seems the Agile is a little better.

I have an Agile Strat copy with maple fingerboard. I put in Fender Noiseless pups and I think it is a great guitar. I am not a big fan of single coils for anything but clean tones, and the Agile does them superbly. It is the only guitar besides my SG in my long years of playing, that I never had to do a fret filing just to make it playable. And I have had great guitars in the past including Strats, Tele's SG's Les Paul customs, A Gibson ES 345, A Firebird, Ibanez, and many others. All of them needed truing except this latest SG and the Agile.

I just wish stores sold Agiles in the UK!  :(

I just wish stores sold Agile anywhere!  (They're only through the online website of Rondo Music...) ;)

Me?, ST1000,

Spai?, Agile PS4000

I've had an agile LP clone for about two years now, (could be three), same JB & 59 pups, mahogany/maple body & neck, ebony fingerboard. I'd buy another one tomorrow if anything happened to this one.
