Agile Al 3010 P90

Always wanted a Gibson Les Paul with P90 pickups but couldn’t afford one?  Well Rondomusic.com has answered your prayers.  They have made an Agile Al-3010 with P90’s so you can get that creamy bright sound at a fraction of the cost.  For those that don’t know Agile guitars are some of the best Les Paul copies on the market when you consider price and quality.  Many of the Agile Guitars use better components in construction than you will find on some of the Epiphone LP’s.  If you are considering a Les Paul copy than you should definately check out the Agile.  You can only buy them online but check around the forums and chat rooms and you will see these guitars are raved about.  You won’t be dissapointed!

As for the Agile Al-3010SE CSBF  P90, this baby is made of solid mahogany body and a solid mahogany top.  This Agile guitar has 102-18C 18-1 ratio Grover tuners and Graph Tech Tusq nut!  The pickups are soap bar style cream type V Alnico P90 pickups that give the guitar incredible output and outstanding treble response.

Unlike other Agile Guitars the Al-3010SE CSBF  P90 comes with higher voltage wiring and pots with brass shafts for reduced noise and a beefier pickup selector switch.  The neck is one piece mahogany set neck that is not quite as beefy as a Gibson so you can play fast.  The neck also has an adjustable truss rod.

The fretboard is made of ebony with Abalone trapezoidal inlays and the neck has 22 frets.  This Agile Guitar also comes with installed at the factory D’addario strings and a professionallly installed graph tech nut.  In addition, each fret is individually hand filed so the guitars plays buttery smooth!

The best part of all is this guitar is only $319.95!  You would pay twice as much for a comparable Epiphone LP.

Guitarists We Like: Slash

By | All | 2 Comments

It’s no seslashcret that we love Les Paul guitars over here at electricguitarcity.com.  We think our love of Les Paul’s can be traced back to our fascination with Slash of G’n’R and Velvet Revolver fame.   The first guitarist we ever really dug was Eddie Van Halen (which we will talk about in another post) but when Slash came along there was just something about his playing that we connected with.  This probably had something to do with the fact that we couldn’t play and never would be able to play as fast as EVH.   Slash showed us that he could play not too fast and still make it sound powerful and sexy.  And the guitar…that Les Paul…there was something about it that we just connected with.  The bluesy harsh sounds that came from Slash’s fingers through the guitar to the amplifier brought about something primal within us.Agile AL 3200

Slash really is an amazing guitarist in our books.  We know some critics would argue but there is just something about his playing that is…well…attainable.  His playing doesn’t seem totally out of reach to us guitar mortals.    Unfortunately, owning a Gibson Slash signature Les Paul is out of reach for most of us guitar mortals.  We checked and as it turns out even owning an Epiphone Slash signature Les Paul is out of reach for most of us guitar mortals (Check out the link at the bottom of this post)

As it turns out we uncovered some interesting information about Slash and his very first guitars (before he became famous and had money) by watching some video interviews.  His very first Les Paul guitars weren’t genuine Les Paul’s at all.  Back when he was just a guitar mortal he was playing Les Paul copies just like us!  So as it turns out it’s okay for us guitar mortals who can’t afford a real Les Paul to play a much cheaper Les Paul Copy.  And the good news is there are some very good quality Les Paul copies out there!

Check out this Agile Al series Les Paul copy.  It’s a fraction of the price of a real Les Paul but make no mistake, it is not a cheap electric guitar.  It is a great value for the money and as we like to say a quality guitar for a cheap price!
