St. Blues Bluesmaster II for an Agile AL-2000

[75lespaul]

I've got an Agile AL-2000 and someone offered me a trans red, cream binding St. Blues Bluesmaster II with a Bigsby for it. I've never heard of this guitar, is this a good trade for resale? I don't need another guitar, I've got to sell what I have to pay for the Les Paul I just bought. I'd probably keep this for a few months and then turn it over if I traded.

Ya the Bluesmasters go for more than the Agile. I had a Bluesmaster III and it was a great guitar! I kind of wish I still had it. The one I had, had 3 strat pickups. The Bluesmaster II's are like Tele's, but that would be pretty sweet with the Bigsby! I would trade.

one of my students brought in his dad's ST Blues (something or other model) - it was kind of like a tele-gib. Really great guitar IMO. Beautifully built. nitro finish. light and resonant.

The Older St. Blues guitars are really great...not sure about the new ones.

I had a St Blues Eliminator for several years - I was trying it out at the Frankfurt Music show when Seymour turned up and gave us all a lecture on potting pickups.
The humbuckers on it sounded OK but squealed when played at high volumes, of course. This is the same model and colour I had -think I bought it around 1986/87
Sadly it was stolenhttp://www.vintagesaintblues.com/eliminator2.htm

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one btw.

New ones are Korean made right? They're kind of cool guitars for what its worth. I played a new one somewhere not all that long ago but can't remember where?

They actually discontinued their korean line a year or two ago. Now the only ones you can get are their high end axes that they make in Memphis.

Here's the Bluesmaster III that I had for a while.

Thanks for all the comments! The fellow didn't notice that I had said my Agile had a ding on the back. He only wanted it if it was mint. Put it on eBay and it sold last night. I will most definitely miss that guitar. If I didn't buy a Gibson, I wouldn't have sold it.

Oh wow. This one looked nothing liked that. Kind of looked like a mutated tele...a little.
