Yanno,
For the money that I spent on them, they really can't be beat!
I've played many Les Pauls...and I mean a LOT of them. some were really effin nice, and some were just plain dogs.
I've used my friends' that was always well set-up, and have gone into the local music stores and tried some off the rack.
The Agiles were ALWAYS better than the Epiphones....(and cheaper LOL), that's no lie..there isn't an Epi Les Paul out there that I would trade straight up for my Agiles (either one of them)...
Now on the Gibby side ..yeah most were better players.
(again some were dogs both new and used..ya really gotta pick through Gibby's to get the one ya want, the same model same set-up, built on the same day at the factory, same EVERYTHING Gibson Les Pauls don't mean that they are the same guitar. They can be like night and day. I would NEVER order one off the internet, because you never know what yer gonna get...they're like buying a car...you really REALLY gotta have hands on one before you purchase.)
The Agiles were just as good as some Gibbies...beter than a few...and some of the Gibbies were better than the Agiles. But, not thousands of dollars better if you know what I mean.
In short,
My Agile Les Pauls are keepers!!
