After hearing all the praises heaped on Agile guitars on the Fender
forum and elsewhere, I decided to get me one. I bought an E1, which
is a PRS clone. I have to say that this is an incredible guitar, and
it's hard to believe it was only $180. The neck is fabulous, the two
zebra humbuckers sound great, and I don't see a single finish flaw
anywhere...and it has Grover tuners, as opposed to the chepo gears
that are usually on guitars in this range. Anyhoo, anyone who hasn't
checked these out, I heartily recommend them :-)

I really like my Agile & SX guitars from Rondo as well. My Agile IJ
Cool Cat (with a GFS Liverpool pickup swap) is one of the nicest
guitars I've played (and I've played some very expensive guitars that
weren't as inspiring.)
Rondo just got a re-stock on their Jazz/Jag inspired SJM-62 guitars too...
I haven't played one, and I doubt they would sound very Jazzmaster-ie
with those P90's (but most Mosrite copies have P90's these days, so
they could be kind of Surfy...)

I'm also a big proponent of GFS pickups. I hasten to say that they're
better than most of the big name pickups that cost 4x as much. I have
the Premium Overwound Alnico Staggers in my Fernandes Jazzocaster, and
they're killer. I need to get one of the other single coil sets to
put in my Strat. I liked the stock pups in that until I upgraded the
Fernandes pups. Now they sound nasty.

If the shape of this was slightly less weird, I'd buy one in a second.
I wish they'd make a regular Jag style.
