Sorry to hear that Cam. Not trying to add salt to your wound but that sounded like a great deal. Lesson learned. You will find another!!! Half the fun is in the hunt.

I own an Agile 2500 and I love it but from what I understand Michael Kelly guitars are fantastic. If you get to play it and with the case I can't see how you could go wrong.

You are not an idiot. Isn't it the most fulfilling thing to find these things out on your own? Part the reason I love playing so much is no matter how much you think you know, you can always discover something. And that feeling of discovery, that light bulb moment is the best. Your being too hard on yourself. Did you smile ear to ear when this occured to you? If so, then this is reason enough to want to keep on playing.

Yes, Rap is poetry in my opinion. I'm not a fan but it can in some instances be clever. It rhymes and flows; I'm no expert but I think that's poetry. It's unfair to exclude it because the majority of us think it's awful. There are lots a genres of music I don't care for but it is what it is.

That's great perspective, can I use that? People (myself included) get so caught up in the "day to day" that sometimes a "slap of perspective" helps. Your statement is the slap we need when we get whiney at work!!!

Hey Cam,
I looked at the Dauntless but ended up with the 2500 instead. I'm not a good gauge for guitar selection most of the time because I don't care what it looks like. For me it's all about sound. I don't care about color or finish. My guitars are for playing not collecting. The guitars I buy are for me and I never sell them. I love the scatch and dent crap.
From what I've read, it seemed the 2500,2900 and 3000 were better construction wise. I can tell you from experience having played both the EPI and Gibson, there is not much if any difference. I know this will enrage the purists but it is what it is and it's my opinion. If I were concerned about the appearance I probably would have considered Dauntless, I like the look of the Root Beer one. From everything I've gathered, you won't be dissapointed with any of Agile's LP copies. I hope someone who owns a Dauntless chimes in soon. BTW, I bought the green 2500 with EMG's and unless you like green and gold it's not so pretty!!!!

Play as many as you can. What I like you may not. What you like I may not. I have a Takamine G series acoustic electric that is in the price range that I absolutely love. Again, personal preference, don't get hung up in the name game. Count on look and feel. I've played some pretty expensive guitars and they're not always the best. Each acoustic is different, even within the same model. And like Southpaw says, give your local, independent music store a chance. Without them, we'll all have to shop at #$#%$ Guitar Center.

Ken,
That is the coolest. Thanks for the link. What a great place that must be to live. And props to Stihl for sponsoring such a thing. It's nice to see a company with a marketing approach that exudes creativity and dignity.

Funny I recently bought a Tascam USB interface that came with Cubase. I consider myself computer saavy but Cubase is just plain weird!!!! I've been using Audacity which I liked but recently switched to Mixcraft which I love. It's 50.00 or so but you can try it free for 7 days. I think it's well worth it. It's a little "slicker" than Audacity....IMHO throw that Cubase disk out!!!

Also, with respect to using Line 6 stuff, I've read a lot of articles that recommend using a guitar with humbucking pick ups rather than single coil. So far, I find this to be true but I'm far from an expert with this pod thing. Sounds better on of the LP copy than the strat.

I tried Sirius..."almost" no commercials. This was my problem. It should be NO commercials. And I found any talking by the DJ's is annoying. And some of them are awful. The washed up MTV VJ's...ugghhh. I was hoping a real, interesting, diverse company would come up and kick their but with interesting, diverse programming. IMHO, Sirius fell way short on that account. I gave it a year and then gave it up. I think it's the right idea they're just getting away from what it supposed to be. For me, they became just like cable TV, promising but ultimately disappointing. Just one guy's opinion.

Thanks. I was looking for Lua and Landlocked Blues. I will check that site out. I think I have them down but would like to double check. Thanks for the link!!!
