Yeah, I don't get the rotary switch thing. I guess you have to get used to it but when I play PRS guitars, it's not that easy to switch between modes, as with a blade or a toggle, in my opinion. I don't really see the PRS-style guitars anymore... did PRS sue Rondo? Seems like they only have the LP's, Teles, semi-hollows and metal type guitars anymore.

Re: Turser vs Agile

You're going to hate me, but I'm pretty sure I was the one who bought it. It was shortly after Xmas that I bought it....sorry

I have no opinion of the stock pups, didn't even bother to try them becuase I had a 59 bridge and Jazz neck waiting for a guitar.

Was it the one with the repaired neck?

Re: Turser vs Agile

I've owned a couple of Agiles. Great guitars for the money. Don't hesitate to buy one. I have this one right now.

I love the block inlay......I need it any more because of the bad vision lol!

not sure, about a lawsuit,but RONDO has taken a chunk out of the rear of the body on the PRS style,& i dont like them, the style i have almost never come up for sale, I MIGHT sell one of my red ones(w/tom bridge only cause i have 2 of the same color)

Re: Turser vs Agile

From experience, every Agile I ever have tried was unsatisfactory in every respect. I had one Jay Turser years ago (Warlord) which was great after changing all the hardware and pups. I'd rather spend the extra money for a guitar I don't have to change everything on which is why all my guitars now are USA made. I seriously doubt I will ever own a budget guitar again but to those that like them, hope you get a good one

That's great that they meet your expectations. I just flat out did not like the feel or sound of them. I do dig the looks of that Les Paul though

No, it was new from a music store. Usually don't see more than one of these at a time though so I figured.....

Okay. I won't have to place a "Cleopatra" curse on you then :smokin:. This one was from a guy in MD.

Re: Turser vs Agile

Yes good rant. And another reason why a Company with a funky name like Rondo Music deserves alot of kudos. Bought the 3000 and TC 730 and both easy to play stay in tune and look good. Took me a year of reading reviews and listing to demo's to go and get the 3000.Just could not believe that for 4 bills you could get a real LP sounding guitar. Glad I went and got it. And the Tele was even more ready to play right out of the box.

Wow this has made me want too get a agile over a epi lp.
