I wanted to share my semi-custom agile.  It was delivered yesterday and I could not be happier.  These guitars can be had for around $500 but if you wait you can get some B stocks for just over $200.  This is a B stock...It has a slight glue mark by the neck joint.  It is REALLY hard to see and I could not capture it well with a camera.  You can see it a bit on the second photo

Specs..

Mahogany body
Maple cap
triple cream binding
Ebony fret board
SS frets.

I want to call the attention to the nicely finished SS frets.  Lots of talk on the board about how hard they are to finish.  I think Cagey already addressed this concern as it comes down to quality tools.  Well it seems like the Koreans would agree.

Enjoy.

I picked up a used Agile from GC a little while back for under $200 to use as a beater guitar.  It's the older model PRS copy with a Floyd and I have to admit I was impressed.  Well, I was impressed after I replaced all the cheap electronics, wiring and pickups.  Hardware is already starting to tarnish though but it's still good bang for the buck
 
I have been playing this a bit and really like the feel.    24.75 scale and a neck similar to a gibson slim taper it really plays nice.  I did notice the back and sides of the body are a single piece of mahogany.  Really impressive for a Korean guitar.  Construction is like a gibson 356.    I have yet to determine if the maple top is solid or a lam top.  I will have to take off the control cover. 

Pickups are ok but I may swap for something with a little more punch
