One of the best kept secrets are the guitars made for the Agile brand, great looking, cheap, and very playable. At www.rondomusic.net you can veiw the new resophonic they are offering, and it looks killer (as opposed to, say..., SEXY). The pineapple inlay on the headstock is what did it for me. Time to get a job, I guess.

No reveiws yet at Harmony Central, anybody tried one?

* And, there's a couple up on Ebay, with better pix.

I like the photos from the 1959 store opening. Too bad, we can't go back in time and buy up all their stock. Those reso guitars remind me of the Chinese made Johnsons and Regals. Anyone know if they are made in china? I've heard that some of the newer Saga resos have US made cones and sound really good.

The guitar's engraving is either done by a laser guided computer driven device or there is a 4th-World country somewhere with a population of very hungry and talented people.

I say computer.
