Re: Just bought myself an Agile AL-3010 2TS Flame Top

So, just got the guitar. Where do I start? The pickguard is really scrathed and the 3 way toggle switch is actually pushed into the guitar - therefor I can't chose which pickup I'm using. On top of that, the action is so low that it's unplayable. Not a good start.
Outside of that, it's quite pretty looking. I'll give you all a report after my buddy fixes up the guitar, swaps out the new pickups, and sets it up for 11 guage strings.

Normal things on a used guitar. No big deal. Here's what I do to a used guitar:

-plug in and check to see electronics are working properly
-take off strings and put conditioner on fretboard
-clean wood finishes with windex (except fretboard)
-restring, and put graphite on nut slots
-check neck bow, adjust truss rod if needed
-adjust action and PU height
-check intonation (usually way off)
-make sure everything is screwed on tight.

What's going on with the toggle, is the plastic knob screwed too far down, or is the whole switch pushed into the plate? Do you need a new plastic toggle plate (inexpensive part)?

Oh, you're right. Different story. Back it goes. The toggle got messed up in shipping, I assume the same goes for the pick guard. They need to get it to him in pristine condition. Must not have been packed as well as it should have been.
