Kurt has such a great reputation that I doubt he would risk it by carrying a guitar that wasn't up to snuff, plus at $130 what have you got to lose. Even if you need to upgrade a few components.....you have plenty of room to do that before you even get close to an inferior Fender. I'm sure the body and neck are quality or Kurt wouldn't have it on his site. So you could upgrade tuners, pots, and pups.....and still be under $300.

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

man, now I got too many options! I found an Xaviere guitar that was pretty sweet looking with a rosewood fretboard and it appears to have better quality everything. I'm still stuck between that one and the Douglas guitar.

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

I have an a Xaviere and the body and neck are EXCELLENT, however...the electronics were not as good as those I got from Rondo. The Xaviere's have super fine necks.

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

I just got an e-mail about this one... Man it's pretty, but I don't know how much i'm gonna have to upgrade...

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

At most I would imagine tuners and pups......but the pups might also be just fine.
I wouldn't upgrade anything until you've had a week or two of playing it under
your belt. You might find that it suits you just the way it is. Good luck....and enjoy!

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

heck yeah, for only $130 for the axe + $30 for tuners, you'll have yourself a hell of a guitar. And if you don't like it, Kurt is good about returns. (as long as you make the return before doing any mods.)

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

What kind of tuners would you advise?

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

Depends on your price range... you can get some

decent Wilkinson tuners - $26 - www.guitarfetish.com

good Grover tuners - $45 - www.guitarcenter.com

excellent Sperzel Locking Tuners - $65 - www.stewmac.com

Just make sure they are a step up from what comes stock, which very well could be excellent, and then buy the best you can afford. The prices and models above are just for examples ....you may be able to find other equally good tuners at even better prices. You can also go the Ebay route with used tuners and new tuners.

Give the installed standard set a good workout.....you may find they fill the bill quite aptly!

Re: Agile AL-2000
 

Yeah, ebay has Grovers for around $30ish. I'm a fan of grover, probably because it's what is on Gibsons, mid-high end Epiphones and mid-high end Agile
