Just the guitar I've been waiting for!


Said no one ever....

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Okay, I guess, but I have no use for another two strings. I hardly use the six I got.

 

[Muppet]

That's perfect for my new acoustic death metal band.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

This interests me greatly. I don't what I'd do with it outside of NOT playing anything close to metal on it.

 

[Elias Graves]

Cutaway acoustic fail.

 

[Kerouac]

No surprise, I really like it. I just wonder how it would actually sound.

 

[Denverdave]

No thank you. The price is right, but it is an Agile.

Honestly, I kind of like it. Wouldn't know what to do with it but good for them.

You laugh but these are gonna sell like hotcakes after Animals as Leaders Unplugged.

Not a big fan of cutaways on acoustic guitars in general, but that finish is the deal breaker for me. It's really bad. Maybe it's just the photo, but I do not like that sunburst finish.

 

[Tig]

I'd like to play one for an hour or two but I'd never buy it.
I'd rather have a fanned fret 6-string.

 

[Modern Saint]

Too many strings...

[Coralkong]

It just looks really cheap....

 

[Gary Blanchard]

It just looks really cheap....

But it goes to 8...

 

[jaxn slim]

Meh

This. Plus, the low price for that kind of instrument is worrisome.

But the guitar gets points for the lack of inlays.

The tip of the headstock looks like it could be a dangerous weapon.
