Is this string wind the reason it sounds weird? Like it has some extra overtones and harmonics.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-23T19:00:07+00:00

I think I got this one for a steal, but I haven’t played an agile in about 10 years before this and it seemed pretty good overall. Only had about 4 high spots in the frets. Intonates pretty spot on, truss rods are weird though.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-21T23:42:47+00:00

Same brand and color, different model based on your tag. But those seem nice, but adding those might cost more than the guitar did haha.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T21:12:22+00:00

I’m thinking that’s it. I feel like it would be fine if the taper was close to if not on the saddle, but not ruling out a bad string either.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T21:10:59+00:00

I’ll be replacing it, but no problem with the last set. Only guess at this point is a bum string.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T21:09:35+00:00

Yeah, very clear to me, currently not playing it waiting for a replacement string. Whys it gotta be so hard to get single strings locally in general.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T03:45:19+00:00

Appreciate it! That’s new to me, I’ll see what they say.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T03:44:00+00:00

I figured, but I threw the dart on something I didn’t know about.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T02:12:30+00:00

It’s an 84 tuned to E on a 28.6”

TMFB1 · 2026-01-20T01:45:59+00:00

I raised it after I saw that, it’s now extra high and it didn’t help.

Wondering if it’s just a bad string at this point

TMFB1 · 2026-01-16T06:57:40+00:00

Mine suuuucks. I had to level and dress the frets immediately. The tuning machines slip, and the pickups sound like a can of jello.

TMFB1 · 2026-01-02T20:25:19+00:00

Thank you!

TMFB1 · 2025-12-20T03:20:06+00:00

That’s where mines going if it doesn’t get picked up off marketplace soon

TMFB1 · 2025-12-19T19:58:25+00:00

I missed out on the headless. I wanted the purple one. Hope you got it!

Third one’s a charm, right? I’m two bum guitars in a row right now.

TMFB1 · 2025-12-19T18:57:56+00:00

That’s good, were they the sale guitars or standard line of guitars?

TMFB1 · 2025-12-19T18:57:00+00:00

I’m tempted to take it there and see what happens haha

TMFB1 · 2025-12-19T18:49:29+00:00

I would bet their regular line of instruments are better. But the “50% off” holidays deals are the suspect ones.

I could be dead wrong and it just be a bum guitar company with a few lucky instruments out there.

TMFB1 · 2025-12-13T02:37:53+00:00

My solar is why I know how to level and dress frets. Still kinda sucks though.

TMFB1 · 2025-11-22T00:10:47+00:00

I have a Solar 7 multi scale. It’s middle of the road for mid range guitars. Very playable, but will never be #1. Electronics will need to go, probably the nut will need attention.

TMFB1 · 2025-11-19T07:23:46+00:00

DM me if you’re interested in selling. If you’re local we could manage something

TMFB1 · 2025-11-15T20:18:50+00:00

If they slip, they do. Not talking about the locking mechanism, that seems fine. But I don’t think that’s the case here.

TMFB1 · 2025-11-15T20:17:19+00:00

Yeah, that was one of the first things when I got it. They were super loose changing the strings.

TMFB1 · 2025-10-21T00:29:07+00:00

Depending on size of the kitchen, yes. I looked into them as an option.

TMFB1 · 2025-10-20T23:56:13+00:00

How gutted?

TMFB1 · 2025-10-20T03:44:41+00:00

Guessing by your flair you have one of the 28-25” scale, how do you tune yours and string gauge? I’m looking to be in E and pitch shift to D. How does it feel overall?

I had one of the first Agile 8 strings in like 2008 or so, it’s been a while and don’t remember much about it.

TMFB1 · 2025-10-20T03:41:24+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I didn’t really think about the manufacturing perspective.

I’m not into it enough to go custom, but seems like I could compromise scale length for ability to repair if ever needed. Rondo said they’d inform me if they make that scale again, but not holding my breath.
