You can get one for around 400-500 dollars and then spend a little extra for some humbuckers or whatever pickups you want.

Next time, focus on the actual argument as opposed to protecting your ego

Most Gibsons are very nice and well-made. My band's guitarist has one as well as a distant relative.

That's my two cents

Parts of post in bold are directly contradicting my earlier advice, based on your assumptions, which as i pointed out, were wrong.

I was therefore replying to THAT part of your post, which directly contradicted my own and therefore formed the second of the 2 different viewpoints necessary to have an 'argument'.

The second half addressed nothing of what I had said earlier, as it was a different company, therefore an argument on that point would have been impossible.

Since we have now established that the only argument possible, is in fact NOT the one you are claiming we have just had, I'm forced to conclude you're a ****ing idiot who just doesn't want to admit another opinion may well have some basis in fact despite its opposition to your OWN viewpoint.

I recently picked THIS up after wanting a more modernized American strat. I got it new for $1200 (with the case) which is a bit out of your price range... but, if you're looking for a diverse guitar that is of high quality and not too expensive, it's worth checking out. The combo humbucker/single coil is sweet as it lends to more diversity in sound and you can hit the S1 switch and have all pickups activated at the same time for a pretty thick sound. The LSR roller nut is also a nice feature as you never have to worry about filing it down and it helps keep the guitar better in tune.

Overall it plays beautifully, no regrets.

so what happened to the Agile? wasn't is supposed to be 10 times the guitar for 1/10th the price? :p:


(btw that's one hella swanky Strat)

HA!!! I know... I always wanted a high quality American Strat that didn't put me into debt. The Agile still has possibilities down the line... but for now, I'm gonna play this guy for a while.

Originally I was going to go with the usual Deluxe Strat or maybe a signature artist strat but the guy at the store popped this into my hands and said he hates strats... but he loves this guitar. So I played it in rotation with all the other choices and I kept going back to that one as the one that sounded and felt better to me. The price has jumped since but I bet you can still find it for $1200 or maybe less someplace.

Oh, I forgot to mention.. as far as strats go (for anybody who cares) I believe this is the only one out there with a mahogany body.

I don't know how I feel about the idea of a strat with a mahogany body. When you pick up a strat, you expect it to sound a certain way. How does the sound differ from a regular strat?

I personally don't get anal about the wood a guitar is made from, I just mentioned that because some people (as yourself) care. It sounds great... I would think the mahogany body adds something (positive) to the sound... but again, I guess it depends on how you feel about mahogany body guitars. As far as it not having the classic strat sound... that was actually the idea when I went with this guitar. Compared to all the other "classic" strats in the store, this one felt more unique and sounded better (to me). It still has some characteristics of the classic strat but with a modernized make over, which I found appealing.
