that airline is nice! how much are the harmony reissues in USA? they are mostly about 1200 bucks by the time they get to me here. They are pretty damn cool though! Shoot first. Ask questions later. Posted 1 year ago #

I've had a real hard-on for Reverend guitars recently. Haven't pulled the trigger on one yet, but it's a matter of time. Posted 1 year ago #

As far as basses go these Italia's look pretty damn cool the supro one is kinda badass too, plus i love a semi hollow body bass!
I can't find a price anywhere though but i would assume they come into this price range but that doesn't matter shit cause you damn well didn't ask about basses! i just thought these were damn cool! Oh and also the supro one has a piezo style pickup so that sounds wicked! Posted 1 year ago #

that eastwood tuxedo looks damn hot. great color scheme going on regardless of it being a reissue. the p90s send it over the top. I have an out of production Eastwood Rokes guitar that plays great. When I got the itch for a Firebird a few years back I went to a local dealer of theirs and every guitar on the wall was a total dog. So I can't say much for their QC. On the other hand, I've got an Italia Speedster which is up there with the best playing guitars I have. I'm not big on humbuckers now and I have too much stuff overall so it's up for sale. Big chunky neck, very well dressed frets. It is a bit neck-heavy based on design but I moved the strap button to the back like on an SG and it balances much better. new for $600 but used for much cheaper. I will feel totally ripped off when this sells. I just don't feel like sinking more money into it to change the pups, etc. here's some pix I shot to help sell it. hopefully something else goes first so I can keep it.

Agile guitars, the AL2000 and AL3x00 series are some of the best guitars you can get for the money, in an LP style, and I'd be willing to say their Tele and Strat counterparts are as good or better than the MIM stuff. Solid mahogany arch top body If you like to do a little tweaking the AL2000's are a great modding platform. I have the goldtop with P90's, I replaced the P90's with Tonerider Vintage P90's and it plays, feels and sounds great, as good or better than any of the Epi counterparts Here's a spec chart comparing the whole AL series The Agile telecaster model Posted 1 year ago #

Well I think the orig post said limit of $1000. So no offense to Agile or Rondo, but if I had $1000, I would probably go bigger. They might be great bang for your buck, and yes if they object/task was to find the best bang for your buck, they may very will be the winner, but yeah - for my money, I'd like something a little more spendy. If I did go Agile/Rondo, I'd have a long look at this bad dog... New Color Based on Customer Suggestions!

Not sure, but I'm thinking about trying to find a way to buy it! Seriously. I've been wanting a single-coil guitar, and something with a bigsby, so this thing really fits the bill. They sell cases for $60 so you can have it shipped in a case. My only worry is whether or not pickups can be easily swapped out (in case they stink). WAY back in 2001 or so, I bought an Agile Les Paul copy, back before Gibson threatened to sue Agile and made them change the horn to look less like a Gibson, it was a sweet guitar. I had no complaints. The only thing that can be tough is resale value. Trying to find a buyer for a no-name guitar is tough. Here's my old Agile LP and my Peavey Classic 30 with 112E ext cab...

PS- it was designed in part by the members of the Harmony-Central forums. That's where I first started learning about guitars and amps and tone and speakers and modifying, etc. I haven't been on there in years but I spent a lot of time there in my beginner days. Great place to learn/chat (at least it WAS back then). That's why they call it the HARM model. Posted 1 year ago #

Those Italia guitars look great, and I'm a huge fan of the Tuxedo. I've heard great things about the reverend guitars, especially the old USA made ones. That Gretsch G5122 is a great guitar. The pickups are the Gretschbuckers in those. I've heard they're really not representative of what a good filtertron should sound like. Some english mount TV Jones pickups can drop right in on these with no mods to fit them in. I've heard that the Electromatic line is a great way to get into a Gretsch. Posted 1 year ago #
