I got my Aglie 3100 at the same time my buddy got his Gibson Traditional, we compared them and found more finish issues with the Gibson.
I had a very nice Edwards LPC, great guitar! Would I trade my Agile for the Edwards? Never.
I sent my Agile to a tech to give it a once over and asuming it would need new electronics (because thats what the almighty rig-talk said), tech returned it saying the electronics were really good and didn't need replaced.
Sure the stock pups aren't the best but far from the worst. As a matter of fact the stock bridge pickup sounded better than the MCP Afwayu did. I have a 500T in it now and it sounds killer.
Beginer guitars????/ Come the fuck on Dave????
That being said, maybe all Agiles aren't the best but the one I have plays/sounds as good or better than any Gibson I have played. I have absolutely no interest in a Gibson LP but prolly will buy another Agile.
If they were the same price I would buy a Gibson just to have another one
