Agile AL-2000 Guitar Review (Root Beer)

Just posted to YouTube and officially added to the gear section of the site is my review of the Agile AL-2000 Les Paul copy.



I'm really happy with the tone and feel of this guitar. The craftsmanship is impressive for the price range. Even though they are on the low-end of the price range, the wax potted ceramic humbucker pickups, actually pump out some great sounds. Not exactly a P.A.F.s or a Gibson Burstbuckers, but a decent enough set of tones to work with live or recorded.

The YouTube hosted video has a review and sound demos of each pickup position played through a Marshall AVT50 (Clean and Overdrive). I'm using my Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive (for the overdrive) and a MXR Super Comp Compressor effects pedals through the clean channel on my amp.

Just Arrived...my new Agile AL-2000 "Les Paul"

I've included a more detailed review of my Agile AL-2000 on the site. You can see it here gear section of the site.

I wanted to get a quick review out of my most recent guitar acquisition an Agile AL-2000 "Les Paul" copy. I purchased it online at Rondomusic.com for US$219. Right out of the box it was in tune and quite playable. I did my own set up to fine tune the intonation and to put my preferred string gauges on in .10-.52's (Heavy top, light bottoms) My next order of business was to round the fret ends off and smooth the neck edges on the binding to give the guitar a more worn-in feel | See post.

Initial soundchecks are coming back hot! This guitar rocks. The pick-up are definitely not PAFs (Classic '57 Gibson Humbuckers) but they will do for now.
