Description

The litany continues! I've done a little trading, Three guitars have been sold / traded, and one brought back from the block! =^^=

From left to right:

Michael Kelly Patriot Limited: Made in Korea. I had this one for sale for a while, until I got a good tube amp. This guitar just sounds awesome! The top is burled bubinga veneer over a 1/2 maple cap. The body is Mahogany. Both pickups are coil tapped allowing this instrument to produce an awesome array of sounds. Not to mention the wood is simply gorgeous!

Agile 3000: Made in Korea: I sold my silverburst Agile 2800 here: [link] to buy this beauty. What can I say? I love blue! and the quilted veneer is absolutely breathtaking! Agile did an awesome job on this great guitar, from the polished ebony fretboard with abalone inlays to the five ply binding on the headstock and around the body! The alnico 5 pickups give a rich warm tone with a little sparkle to it! If I feel inclined, the pickups have four conductors, so I can modify the guitar for coil tapping or phase switchng. Alas with this awesome guitar, I'm also selling my blue Raven West as well. The Agile is simply a better instrument!

Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro: Made in China. It was a bit of a moral dilemma to pull the trigger on this one. But I was really impressed with the wine red color, and the factory coil taps. This guitar sounds as good as it looks. Purchasing was made a little easier as I traded in my Squier Strat (the one on the left here: [link] ) and the black Michael Kelly Vex [link] . The sad part is that this will be effectively my $500 beater guitar! The finish behind the neck and on the rear of the guitar is rough. (deliberately so). Therefore, I'm not worried about messing it up! It has a multi-piece mahogany body and neck. From a construction viewpoint, not the choicest of woods, but I really like the warm tone of the instrument! =^^=

Later on I plan to do a more in-depth between the Agile, the Epiphone and the real Les Paul for those that may be interested...

Wow, dude. Pretty sick. I've got a Spanish Manuel Rodriguez (Classical guitar), 6 years old and my original guitar. The other's a Mexican Stratocaster with a dark purple body. I've been playing classical for almost 8 years and electric for about 3. There's a picture up in my gallery if you wanna see - [link]

These guitars look real good. Nice job man! :D
