Hey guys,

Just got my AL-3000 in the mail this week. I took it out last night to get some good pics of it. There were some minor issues (none affecting playability) but it's a great guitar. Fretwork is perfect, the pickups aren't bad, but i'll end up replacing them anyway. Finish is flawless, hardware seems solid. Only problems were the pickguard not being screwed in all the way and leaving behind a ding where the top screw was, and a bubble in the headstock binding. I'll have some clips once my old pod XT arrives from the mainland. For now, enjoy some pics :)

Congrats on your purchase. I own two of them and one is the wine red with the spalted top...excellent choice :AOK:

These are not only great values, but the quality is amazingly good. The quality rivals an old Gibson LP studio that I had.

Very, very, nice guitar....!

Agiles are surely a great guitar for the money. I have three now myself.

I've found that the stock Alnico pickups that come on the 3000 series to be very playable. I wouldn't compare them to a set of custom wound humbuckers, but for pickups that are fully machine wound, they sound pretty darn good.

Yeah, I think they're just not my style. I'm snagging a P90 for the neck, and something a little fuller for the bridge. Thinking of starting with a GFS Dream 90/Fat PAF. At $60 for the pair, hard to go wrong.
