I've been itching to get my hands on something mid ground, had to be an LP style guitar. I wanted to go for either the Agile, an Epiphone or an Olson guitar. I chose the Agile as it came out cheaper, and the communication was bang on with Kurt (ie, I asked a question and he answered it...I didn't have to try to wrangle any answers out of him or ask things twice.)

So here she is!









Not only gorgeous, but plays fantastic and came pretty well set up. I do like the ceramic pickups, but I have an EMG 85/60 set coming that might make their way into her. Based on this one guitar, I'll be back to Rondo Music to buy more in the future. This thing is niiiice!

The neck is smooth and feels solid, the body fits like any Gibson LP I've tried on and the electronics are clean. Pickups are very well balanced too...but the strings were way too slinky for me. Unfortunately all I had to put on it were some Gibson Reissue nickels 10's while my preferred are Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11's. When I put in the EMG's, I'll get the proper strings on and see if it still plays and sounds as nice.
