The designer definitely knows what will grab the attention of a guitar. They are fairly well equipped in terms of hardware and quality (grover tuners & alnico pickups on some) Every time I look at these, I have to fight the urge to buy one. But it's tempting to do it just for the eye candy.

Typical Koren build-need to be completely gutted (low buget harness, pots and PUPS)frets leveled, dressed and ends filed (very sharp ends for some reason) . I've played 20 or so different Agiles and the quality is all over the place-rough frets, poorly finished boards etc. These gits are the equivilent of an Epi and -with a little work- make a fine looking student guitar.

What are they? Are those wood PU bobbins? -Sven Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 12:01 pm:    Funkle: These are examples of the kind of custom guitars that are being made by Ron Thorn of Thorn Custom Guitars in Glendale, CA.

Can't beat the price though!
