Ron S Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Maybe if you paid, oh, $300 for it. For that much, I'd expect the band to gig in Philly. B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 It's working on myself. For 50 cents a day everyone should have one, or TWO! You could sell one for $100 profit cutting your costs further still. Shipping is FREE, no taxes. This is a NO BRAINER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need to do is buy four of them, sell three (for $399) and whalla... free guitar. I don't think it will be that easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 If it makes you feel better, Joe... I was hanging with Nagy today and that man has more guitars than I've ever seen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Too late . . . I just ordered every last one they had in stock. The last Alleycat!?!?!?! Forget the Alleycat. What you need is a COOL Cat--Grover tuners, a beautiful natural finish, a REAL jazz box, and great customer service--all for only $250 ('cause you aren't paying extra for the Gibson/Epiphone name and advertising ).

That is a nice lookin' guitar. How is the workmanship? Are the ends of the frets finished? The workmanship is very nice, especially for only $250. The ends of the frets are indeed finished and beveled down. The one I got had a couple of little blemishes in one place on the neck binding (I have a photo of them if you're interested), but they're taking it back and sending me a new one (with their apologies for the problem). Other than that, the guitar feels very solid, and is finished beautifully. It compares very well with Ibanez Artcores and Epiphones that cost up to twice as much. You should head up to Union and check it out if you want to see it in person. But be aware that they told me they don't have many left and won't be getting more in until the summer.

I thought Ron's little "I bought the last Alleykat" ploy might scare you into a commitment. Guitars sold = 3 Continue following this thread at your own risk!

I asked because when I was there on Saturday trying basses, my buddy was whining 'bout the ends of the frets on them. I might swing by there later this week, even though the Epiphone is supposed to keep me from doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that the Agile products are better made--they're obviously a bit more expensive. Maybe our resident AGILE DESIGNER would care to weigh in on this (I know Blake's lurking around here somewhere ).

Yeah, NOW he says he HOPES you like it, after setting the trap and pushing you in for the kill (with a little help from the rest of us).
