..and for 26 bucks, I might try one. I've ordered several guitars from Kurt and he is easy to deal with. Though SX is pretty bottom of their line, their Agile line is pretty darn good. They started about 10 or 15 years ago (time gets away) having their own lines produced in China and in the beginning they were pretty crummy but they listened to customers and improved the electronics, nuts, and other things and now they have some good guitars, IMO, the best Chinese guitars for the money.. period. I'm a cheap-o and have a Pink Douglas SG style guitar that I actually bought for a daughter, it ain't bad but nothing to write home about, I have an original SX GG which is an all mahogany LP style with two P-90s. They were selling them for 99 bucks and there is nothing wrong with the guitar. I actually bought two and gave one to a friend in need. One of these days I am going to buy one of their upper end Plaintop LP knockoffs, the Agile, if for no other reason, just to look at.
 
BUT... the reason for this post is this: http://www.rondomusic.com/stompbox.html A plain wood wedge stompbox with some electronics that is supposed to sound like a bass drum when you step on it, plugged into an amp. I like the idea!
Pretty cool huh? (no I don't own stock in Rondo but frankly, I used to spend a lot of time on a now defunct guitar forum called the Guitar Diner and a lot of people there tried the Agiles and I NEVER heard anything bad about any of their products)... just sayin'.

Very interesting Julien and first time I'm seeing this. So, when using at my DAW via my Focusrite 2i4, the guitar tone won't get affected when stomping on this?

Careful there - you'll end up like our pal Steve Hill... He started out with the bass drum and look at him now... Seems to have a new piece to his kit every time I see him.

I just noticed while looking at the upper end Agiles that they are now made in South Korea. If that matters.
