Anybody on own? On the topic of semi-hollowbodies, you can get these for $299.

I've been looking at there guitars for a while now. Really affordable and beautiful looking guitars, but sadly no cash-ola right now. Let us know if you get one. Cheers

They look cool, and sound cool, BUT...very cheap ass electronics...and will need new frets..these frets are full of TIN..they feel scratchy and sound tinny....
We have worked on a few really cool looking zemitias models...the wood seems good, but lkike I said parts are bad ..cheap ass bridges as well..
but for that low money what do you really want to get...

I'd stick with Agile for cheaper guitar stuffs.

Corky, you ever worked on Agile guitars? What do you think of them?

Never worked on them, but played them...great guitar for the money..good wood, better electronics, and the frets seem way better then most lower priced guitars...

Our bass player uses an SX bass from Rondo. I think it was $139, it is an amazing instrument for that kind of money. Nice looking, flawless finish, nice action and setup, sounds just great through his Ampeg rig. He also uses a Tech21 bass DI to the house. It works.

Haha, I know it's worth looking into when Corky and Jamison dig it. ;) I've got my eye (and savings hopefully) on a LP style Agile, saving up for it as we speak.
