« on: February 27, 2009, 09:50:16 PM »
Well my Agile AL-2500 Albino arrived today. Lets see exactly what went down.
Oooooh a box that says "Agile"

Oh noooooos a hole in the box!!!

Must open it and see if it's okay

Foam padding but still not sure

Ahh thankfully it's allright

Ahh maplelicious

Headstock action

Man it's purdy

Now for my impressions. This thing is NICE!!! I can't believe it was so cheap. It is heavy as hell and feels like it's built like a tank. It arrived totally unscathed and had no flaws worth mentioning. The action is low and buzz free and I love the feel of it. Stock pickups are pretty meh but not the worst ever. I expected that and they will be replaced with a BKP Miracle Man set shortly. Hardware seems decent and the fretwork isn't bad at all. Also Rondos service has been great and shipping was very quick. I am very happy with it. Especially at the price. Anyone thinking of buying an Agile LP don't hesitate.

I have to say I didn't like it at first glance, but it's growing on me already...

I want wall hangers for my guitars, but my cats would just see them as swings.

It's really weird seeing a maple board on an L.P type guitar, but that looks great! 8)

Hmmmm, where have I seen one of those before?

The look is definitely growing on me.  But there is something soooo '70s about it, and I don't really know why.

 i like this one more than D+L's  (you know what, i have a friend called DL which stands for 'dirty laura' - i think thats what i will call ben from now on!!)

obviously they are essentially the same guitar but the bookmatch on this really appeals.... its almost like the wood grain is trying to force itself into a bullseye :)

Yeah I definately got a nice top on this one. It also has a part on the bottom near where the two pieces of the top meet that fades from a lighter shade to darker. Looks really cool.

^ I wondered where you had got to!

Lovely guitar. Are you in the UK? It looks gorgeous for such a low price.

Sorry my curiosity is getting the better of me...What pet is in the cage?  :lol:

Pickguard or no pickguard? I like it with it off, but hate having the holes for it. I put the screws in but it looks kinda cr@ppy IMO.

I think it looks great.I agree with Philly in that it kinda of makes me think 1970's.

I'm glad to see a pic with the pickguard removed - that pickguard just doesn't work for me, I think it looks much nicer without :)


Incidentally, what good does a pickguard actually do? I don't think I've EVER got the plectrum even remotely close to the guitar *below* the strings!!!!
