Title: Deciding between guitars
Post by: the_bub_from_the_pit on November 18, 2007, 05:21:32 pm
Alright, for Christmas, my parents promised me I could get a guitar, so if I want to get one shipped outside of Canada (probably from the US) I'd need to start looking sometime soon so it actually gets here...being hectic and all during Christmas.
So I'm looking for a guitar that has the look of a Les Paul (preferrably a cherry sunburst color, but it's not THAT important), and it has to be pretty good and in the price range of $300-$400.  Currently, I'm looking at the Agile guitars over at rondomusic.net becuase I've heard a lot of great things about them. I'm deciding between these three:

http://www.rondomusic.com/al3000mapcsb.html
http://www.rondomusic.com/al3100wilkcsb.html

So yeah. I'm kinda liking the third one, but I'm not really sure about the technical aspects of the guitar, so you guys may be able to help me in deciphering which one's better. Or, if you know other guitars that are better than this for the same price range, please help me out!

The Agile AL-3100 Wilk CSB Special Edition Gold HW, its defiantly the most versatile of the three. I think an Epiphone Les Paul is much better then the Agiles though(my friend has one and I like the Epiphone better).

Get the first one. It looks like a les paul. But in my opinion you shouldn't waste your money with a les paul copy just go to the guitar store and test whathever they have there

No they're not Ryan! Only some of them are bad (the "SPECIAL" ones)

Not a fan of Les Pauls (Authentic or Copies) for anything but studio recording - they are too heavy for any extended strap on playing.

I've actually never been bothered by that. My LP Studio Gold seems light as a feather compared to
my Thunderbird Bass-guitar. You just have to get used to it.

Anyway... Save up your cash and buy a real gibsons. As far as I've experienced, the copies don't
even get close to the real ones. The best i've tried was a Washburn, so maybe that's something
you might want to look at.
