View Full Version : loving my new Agile AL-3100

I'm a little slow to post this, but I recently got an Agile AL-3100 honey sunburst (flamed) with a slim profile neck. I had been scoping out ebay and Craigslist for awhile (Rondo didn't have the 3100 in honey sunburst) and I'm glad that I waited. This plays beautifully (I don't...but the guitar does!).
Ebony fretboard, mahogany body and neck... the stock pickups sound quite good to my ear. I got a great deal on this practically brand new guitar from a great ebayer.
Here are some pictures, although they don't really do the guitar justice.
Of course, this new guitar motivates me to play more :)

Congrats on the new axe. I've heard nothing but good things about those and that one looks great!

Beautiful axe, pickn! They really are great instruments. I have a 3000 that looks like a twin to yours, and it plays and sounds great, and has for over a year.
Congratulations on a lovely flametop!:AOK:

That is one sweet looking gitar Pickngrin. Nice finish, it motivates me to play it more and it ain't even mine. :rockon:

Beautiful guitar...congrats! http://s4.tinypic.com/2layk3t_th.jpg

I have,and have had, several Agile guitars and they are great. Not just for the
money, but just great. I've never had a problem with any of them.

Thanks, guys. To anyone on the fence about whether to get an Agile, based on my experience with this one I would say go for it! Amazing how they can build these things and sell them for what they retail at.

Just when I thought I'd be narrowing down my next HH guitar choices, you play the Agile card. Arrrrgh! Looking at the RondoMusic.net spec's page (http://www.rondomusic.com/alspec.html), the AL-3000 and AL-3100 models have everything covered well.

I've read some good reviews (Harmony-Central and http://frugalguitarist.com/) on them a while back but forgot about them until now. So, it looks like a serious contender for my limited budget...

Very nice. I have an AL-3100 cherry sunburst, and it has been my go-to electric ever since I got it. I've tried many more since, and it's still my fave.

I have to say, the honey sunburst is really gorgeous -- good call on snooping around until you found that one.

Both those are beautiful, Tig.
I like the quilted blue a tad better, I think......

LOL at "pulling out the Agile card".
Thanks for the compliments on my new axe. I went to jam with some friends yesterday, for the first time with the Agile. It's great! The slim neck doesn't seem to take as much getting used to as I thought it might.

Here is mine...

I have the AL-3100M Spalted Slim and absolutely love it. It is heavy tho....not necessarily a bad thing. ;)

Wow. That quilted blue is be-frikkin-yootiful.


(Would really have to change the knobs, though! something in nickel or clear acrylic or black. The gold clashes horrid with the rest of the hardware!)
