Most likely in the same Samick factory ...
No, there are a BUNCH of different musical instrument factories in Korea, and the Agile line are significantly different from the Samick/Epis. What they correspond very closely to are the Tokai "Love Rocks" line of guitars, also made in Korea. As for pickups, they seem to be Gotoh-made. I'm very happy with the P-90s on mine and would never think of replacing them.
Both of my Takamines were made in Korea and they are great guitars imo]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[So, which model of AL did people get and why?  Which features of that model as compared to the lower model were worth it to you?  In looking at the feature list the AL-3000 seems to be a decent price / value point to me - the better hardware and pickups mostly.  Anybody with multiple AL models able to give a comparison?<br><br>How about the neck width issue?  My current guitar sits between the AL neck widths - mine is 1 11/16 and the AL's are 1 5/8 or 1 3/4.  I'm not sure which way I would go - wider or narrower.  How does the neck width feel?<br><br>What about the maple cap models?  Any comparison on the sound of one with a non-maple cap model?  Is it noticeably brighter sounding?<br><br>Has anybody replaced the tuners with locking tuners?  Which ones fit into the existing holes?<br><br>I'm not sure that I'm going to buy one yet but I've had GAS rumblings over them for a few months and I'm thinking a little more seriously about it.<br><br>Thanks.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Agile guitars are a great guitar.  It is made in Korea and that is a good thing for this price point.  Korean made guitars for this money are usually pretty good.  At $200 - $400 for an Agile, go for it.  The only overseas guitars I have had a problem with are some Chinese guitars, not all.  I have a Chinese made Epiphone SG that totally rocks.  It all depends on the guitar.  I have never heard of anyone having major issues with an Agile, that I assume you will be getting from Rondomusic.net.  Rondo takes care of their customers.  Period.  This is my "general" equation : American&gt;Japanese&gt;Korean&gt;Mexican&gt;all others.  Actually Korean and Mexican guitars are about equal.]]></content:encoded>
