This guitar is just excellent, is stupid paying 2,000 for a gibson when only with 199.99 you can have this one, the picture is only a shadow of this art work, the sound is good, I played a gibson before and this one is the same, when you buy a gibson you pay for a name, but an agile is good performance, I play it in my 30 watt amp and is great.

I recomend this guitar to everybody, good quality, great sound, low price.

This is a guitar I really want to play. The sustain is great. The finish great. The only objection is that the maple veneer doesn’t line up perfectly, but for around $1000 more I could get that. For the price this guitar is well worth it.

This guitar is a good value. I have been playing guitar since 1965, and I have owned many electric guitars over the years -- some of them American-made Fender and Gibson guitars. This guitar compares favorably to them for the price. It is a Korean-made guitar which is manufactured for an American, family-owned business (Rondo).

I read rave reviews of this model online while searching for a good Les Paul copy. So, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. First, I bought an Agile AL-2000 in tobacco sunburst with a standard width neck (1 5/8 inch at the nut). I loved the guitar, but I wasn't diggin' the narrow neck. So, I ordered another AL-2000 in Cherry Sunburst Flame-Top with a wide neck (1 3/4 inch at the nut). The CSB Wide is the one I kept.

I have small hands, but I found the wide neck to be more comfortable than the standard. The string spacing is a little wider. I advice you to give careful consideration to neck width before you place your order.

Gibsons are made from South American Mahogany. These guitars are said to be made from a Mahogany-like Asian wood such as Red Meranti, but it works. The body on my Cherry Sunburst was made from four pieces plus the two piece Maple veneer top. The Cherry Sunburst finish looks great!

The binding is perfect. You can see a few blemishes through the finish where a ding in the raw wood was treated with filler, but it doesn't bother me considering the price. The fret work is excellent, and they come with Grover tuners which work well. The ceramic pickups are good, but I will eventually install better pups.

You will need to set-up the guitar. If you don't know how, you should take it to a guitar tech. I lowered the action (string height) a bit, raised the pickups a bit, and adjusted the intonation. You will also need install better quality strings.

The picture for this guitar does not do it justice! Beautiful finish and arrived quickly. I can’t say anything on the sound because this is my first guitar.

It sounds great and is a joy to play.
