After hearing so much about these Agiles lately I just had to check them out. I can't believe how cheap they are. I ordered the AD 2500 in blue flame Yesterday at 1:30 pm and it was on my doorstep Today at 11:33 am!! 22 hours after I pushed the purchase button on Rondo's website!! That is quick service. Anyway, the picture here is a stock one since I haven't had the chance to take one myself yet. Man, this guitar is NICE!!! Very good quality. Mine came in perfect shape. No flaws in the finish or hardware that I can see. I won't go into the details of it since we have all read about them on Rondo's website. The frets were just right, just to the edge of the binding without sticking out at all. It even was in tune when I took it out of the box!! The only thing I have a problem with are the pickups. Just too weak sounding for me. Also very "tinny" sounding. Nothing that a good set of 'buckers can't change. That's the least. Overall this guitar feels very solid and is very comfortable to play. I really love it!! Anyone with GAS out there should go for it, it won't break the bank! www.rondomusic.net/photos/electric/ad2500blueflame5.jpg |

Thanks!
The neck is very similar to my 2 Epi LP Standards, a little on the fat side, but not much. As a whole I would have to say that it is just like the Epi's. It's Korean Made (who knows maybe in the same factory). The bridge and tailpiece are the same as my Epi's also. The inlays on the neck are perfect. All are straight and almost NO filler around them. the finish is perfect, just a slight imperfection by the neck joint but hardly noticable. The big difference is the price: $229.00 plus $14.00 shipping. You can't beat that.
P.S.: Like I said, the pickups were not that great though. I put in a set of Chrome covered Epi p/u's from my LP Standard (2002 model). You know, the "hot 57" model bridge and it made a major difference. Much hotter sounding guitar now. I just love it! Thanks again.
