Agile Guitars – Buyers Guide to Agile Guitar Prices

by Mac

Agile guitars have become a really good alternative for those of us who want a really nice musical instrument at a decent price.  I have a couple of them in my collection and I was really surprised at the quality of an Agile Guitar, especially with the great prices.

Here is a quick rundown of the different model series that are currently available, a sort of buying guide if you will of these low priced axes, some of their features and specs and such…

You can find all of these great guitars at Rondo Music

Agile AL-2000 Series


The four main models in the AL 2000 series are the AL-2000, AL-Dauntless which has EMG Selects or Duncan Designed Pickups, AL-2500 12 String Electrics, and the AL-2800 Baritone.  The 2000 and Dauntless have three piece mahogany bodies, while the 2500 and 2800 have two piece solid mahogany bodies center joined.  They all feature two piece maple necks with rosewood fingerboards and Gotoh tuners.

    A couple of things:
    1. To me, the Rondo website is confusing as anything you care to mention. It appears that they handle several lines of guitars, not just the Agile and one cannot tell which is the higher quality.
    2. Does anyone know if the Agile guitars are lower priced through Rondo or elsewhere? (I noticed someone on here bought one through Amazon, thats why I ask.)
    3. The Agile LP style guitars are getting quite the reputation, good reputation, that is.

    1. The site is arranged from lowest priced to highest priced models.

    As far as I can tell, they are all manufactured at the same plant in China, with a few of the higher dollar Agiles being made in South Korea. No real difference in quality of make, just prices vary between models in ways that make absolute sense. You basically pay more when you add on upgraded hardware, pickups, trem units, binding, neck inlays, ebony fretboards, etc.

    2. Rondo Music has an Amazon store. The prices are usually the same.

    3. The definitely have a devoted and growing following, (including myself.... :) )

    All of the Agiles are made in Korea, including the entry level AL-2000's. They are usually of higher quality than the SX and Douglas guitars that Rondomusic makes in China.

    They really are some great guitars...
  • I bought AL 2000 guitar from amazon about three weeks ago and it is really stunning.
