As some of you may remember...we're flat broke. We needed money for heating oil, so I sold my cherry sunburst 1973 LP Deluxe that had been routed for a bridge bucker, and a very good job too; looked stock. My wife just started a new job a few weeks ago, so she said I could buy one of these Agile guitars I'd been gassing for with some of the money from the LP sale. Figuring I could just sell it if we needed the money, I started looking at the Dauntless and AL-2000 models. The price is nice for the guitar, but after paying shipping, getting a cheap case and a pickup swap for at least the bridge, I was looking at around $360. Not what I wanted to spend for the lower model. I had seen some for around $180, but not in the colors I wanted. I'm not usually too picky but I just don't want a goldtop--which is weird because I've been wanting one for many years, but lately I don't.
Anyway, I see this AL-3100 on eBay tonight with case and free shipping for $335. Again, not the color I wanted, but it was the cheapest 3100 I had seen since I started looking. So I pulled the trigger. I hope I don't ever have to turn around and sell it, and I feel a bit guilty for buying it, but I really felt the NEED for a NGD. I hope Agile g.a.s. is high test because I don't want to be disappointed with this guitar. The sad note is that I think the Jesus guitar may have to go.
