2021 Agile Harm I Semihollow Electric Baritone Guitar
Overview: This is exactly what it looks like -- a recent, cool-looking, longer-scale baritone guitar. The company advertises that it can be used as a Bass VI-style instrument, too, but I think the win here is to string it as a baritone in B or A tunings. It's currently strung with a heavier set of 3-wound, 3-plain stringing which gives it a feel closer to that of a nromal guitar. This is only possible due to the extra-long 30" scale length this has (vs. the 27-28" lengths of most other baritones) and it's my preferred scale length for them. We've done a lot of short-scale bass conversions over to baritone guitar and it works nicely! Aside from that, what else? It's got twin mini-bucker-style pickups, a lighter-weight semihollow build, nice surf green color and cream binding all over, and a fast, modern neck with an ebony fretboard. It's a Korean-made instrument and the build quality is excellent for its price bracket.
Repairs included: I just gave it a good setup, replaced some non-original knobs with simple black ones, and cleaned it up just a bit. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: The strap locks, knobs, and a couple of the pickup mounting screws are unoriginal. Otherwise it's a stock instrument. There's just the lightest fretwear here and there but none of it detracts from the playability (our shop automatically level/dresses any frets needing it). There may be a little playwear/usewear in the finish here and there but I am not noticing it.
It comes with: It actually has a nice, hard case.
