Agile AL-3100 Cherry Sunburst (Wide)

WOW! For something manufactured in Korea, this Agile is one heck of a guitar! Graphite Nut, Grover tuners, two Alnico V pickups, Mother of Pearl inlays, what more could you ask for? This guitar has better tuners and the same pickups as the Gibson LP Standard 50s Neck, which sells for over $2,000. I got mine in Cherry Sunburst; it's probably the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen! The CSB on the Agiles is unlike the Epiphone or Gibson because my Agile's CSB scheme is slightly transparent, so it shows the beauty of the CSB scheme while showing some of the wood for a classical look. My only problem is some of the knobs on the guitar are slightly raised or bent, but they can always be switched out, so no problemo!

Oh my God! What can I say? The Alnico V pickups and the actual guitar accomplish what an Epiphone or even a Gibson cannot do. The Agile offers superior sound quality without any pedals. I am playing through a simple Crate amp and it sounds incredible through my tiny amp! I have a Dunlop Crybaby wah wah pedal and use the built-in overdrive on my amp and it sounds great! I am a die-hard Pearl Jam fan, so when I played songs like Alive, Even Flow, and Black on my Agile, I almost cried. It was like recreating a piece of time with the sound! It sounded so authentic like when PJ recorded it on Ten, VS, Vitalogy, etc. Long story short, the sound is breathtaking.

I've had my Agile for about a month now, and no scratches, paint chips, or anything else is on the guitar. This thing I know is going to hold up well. My friend has an Agile AL-2000 he bought in 2000 and it still looks like it did the day he bought it. This thing can definitely be used at any gig for any style of playing and could be taken to a gig with no backup. This is unlike any Epiphone, there can be all sorts of problems with Epiphones when you use them in gigs.

Kurt really ought to teach big companies (inside or outside the guitar business) a thing or two about REAL customer service. Kurt responds to your emails within 12 hours of receiving it and actually writes to you, unlike automated email machines. He is very kind and answers all of your questions. Just for that I think I would buy another Agile from him.

I don't see why everyone thinks it would be better going for an Epiphone LP or even a mid-end Gibson LP. These Agiles sound better and feel better than any Epiphone or low-mid Gibson. In case any of you people didn't know, Epiphones are manufactured in Asia too, so all you die-hard Epiphone fans can't say "don't get a guitar from Korea" because guess what? Agiles sound better than your Epiphones and are manufactured in the same country, so HAHA! You just got ripped off by Epiphone (and Gibson)!!!!

Overall, the Agile is one of the best electric guitars I have ever played. For $379, it makes it that much better. I would definitely replace my Agile if it was stolen. That or beat the thief silly with a crowbar. Either one will do. It is great for my style of playing. Thank you Kurt and Rondo Music for making such a wonderful guitar; I hope I have my Agile for a long time.
