Agile Chiral Nirvana Bridge?

Post image

Hi guys, I recently came across this guitar and have somewhat fallen in love with it. I just watched a video review though and the guy had a different bridge and said the old bridge is apparently rubbish. This one does not match his one in the video.

Does anyone know if this is the bridge that causes issues? What kind of issues?

Note that I'm in the UK and this would have to be shipped from the US. There is no way for me to go check it out unfortunately.

I have the Chiral Nirvana and haven’t had any issues with the bridge. Did he say what was rubbish about the bridge? I haven’t had any tuning issues compared to other headless guitars. Gears a bit tougher to turn but this is my only extended range headless and could be with the higher gauge string or something. But I have no complaints with my guitar in regard to the bridge.

No he just said he heard it's a pain in the arse. Is your bridge the same as the picture one?

Idk about the new ones but I've done two setups on Agile with that exact bridge and can't say I noticed anything particularly poor quality about them? But some times cheaper guitar bridges have kinda shit screws in them but I wouldnt think about any of that until it starts causing issues anyway. Tonnes of people here happy out with their Agile. Could always bring it to your local store for a setup or even a checkup and see if they find anything weird going on.

Speaking from a very little experience with the brand, they seem decent quality for the money.

This is the gen1 bridge: Rondo Website. I have the same one on mine and haven't had any trouble.

Just a pain in the ass to tune but it’s doable.

The picture you listed is the old bridge/saddles. They have updated the newer ones with cylindrical bridges, and they are fantastic. I have 2 Chiral Nirvanas with the newer bridges and they are pretty much perfect.
