MGR/Rich « Agile 2800 DLX »
Published on 03/04/04 at 15:00Bought from Rondo Music off the web for $309. Found out about Agile guitars and Rondo Music by accident while searching on e-bay. After seeing the nice looking pictures I did about a months' worth of research into Agile guitars. What I found was this; for the money spent there is probably not a better guitar out there.
I have a 1986 Gibson Les Paul Standard and I play in a regularly gigging band. I love playing my Gibson but I found that I can no longer justify risking it being damaged or stolen while out playing gigs. I can't afford to replace it at todays' current value. Buying the Agile gave me a VERY nice Les Paul copy at a VERY resonable price. Besides, the cherry sunburst quilted maple top is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
In a word, nothing.
For a $300 instrument the quality and contstruction is easily comparable to an instrument costing 3 times as much. I took my Agile 2800 DLX to a professional luthier to be set up (I have done the same with both of my Gibsons as well). His opinion was the neck was nice and straight and set up beautifully, the hardware was of good quality and real Grover tuners to boot.
This guitar was bought to fill a specfic need and I think it will perform just fine. Remember, only $300!
