Looks like a 3-piece body. There is an update coming shortly! Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

Thank you!

I'm definitely better at painting and modding guitars than playing them, lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts.

I poked around with an audio probe as much as I could but I could never find the trouble component. Sold it for parts...and bought another 18v! If you end up not being able to fix yours I'll sell you mine for $40. :)

It does a pretty great job of withstanding heavy trem use. Not quite Floyd levels, but good enough for my needs.

@@burresseffects Thanks a lot!

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out! I'd be happy to help you find a circuit that fits your sound. I'm curious to hear more about your rig. What kind of pickups are in that guitar, and how far from the strings are they currently set? What kind of amp/cab are you running into? Feel free to email me at burresseffects at gmail and I can get back to you faster. Thanks!

Thank you! I agree with you on the company. I felt like I got lucky with this build after reading other folks’ experiences. I love the Evil Dead series. Great fun. I saw the first one while living in a cabin in the woods, working as a camp counselor. I was spooked for sure!

Thank you!

Wait til you see my next video!

@@burresseffects Hope it's longer than 5 seconds.....unless you mean it's even shorter.

The screws are actually long enough to allow for height adjustment. Typically there's a piece of foam under the pickup providing upward pressure, and you just adjust the screws to adjust height like you would on a guitar with mounting rings. Eddie Van Halen actually preferred direct-mounting, and a lot of other players swear by it too.

I swear next time will be better!

I’m not sure. Sadly I sold this guitar not too long after acquiring it.

Joaquin Reyes Hey Joaquin! I bought this guitar slightly used, so sadly all the tags, case candy, etc were gone when it got to me. I don’t think it even included a truss rod wrench but that’s okay. I have dedicated tools for that. Thanks for watching!

Jerry White Thanks, Jerry! I should have more gear videos coming soon!

Brandon's Autistic Gaming Dope!

@@burresseffects yeah it is 😃

Bagus SW Hey there! This one was made in Indonesia. I really need to do an update video as I’ve had it for almost a year and I’m very pleased with it, but there was an issue I’d like to address that I think potential buyers could benefit from.

how do you think about this guitar you’ve had it for a year? it’s great guitar and quality?

Bagus SW When I was setting it up I noticed a couple of high frets (4 and 5 I think), and while I was annoyed that I had to spot level them, it’s not actually that uncommon among guitars even in the $700 to $1000 range. Still, I’d rather have not had to do any fret work whatsoever for an $899 guitar. That said, in every other respect it has shined. The compound radius of the neck and the ebony fretboard make it a fast player, and while I don’t really use the coil splits at all, it’s a nice feature to have, and the Duncan pickups sound great. I appreciate the extra stability of the Tonepros bridge/tailpiece, and the locking tuners make string changes that much faster. So yeah, I’m still impressed with it!

I’ve seen the same guitar was made in KOREA, which one is correct?

Bagus SW Some were made in Korea, and some in Indonesia.

Daniel Rodriguez Yo Daniel! I have a feeling you’ll be pleased! My favorite Duncan pickup for modern metal is actually the Black Winter, but the LTD’s Duncan Pegasus has been great. I like a lot of definition between strings so the mids and high end really sparkle, and the Pegasus fits that bill great. The Sentient is also fine and dandy for neck tones, though I tend to use it more for cleans. So sorry to hear about your rig!

Blake Burress I watched a comparison video of different modern pickups including the black winter and man I really liked it. I’m enjoying the set that came in the MH1000 though. Sound pretty good and also have better cleans. Plus the coil split makes them very nice however I don’t like the volume decrease when using them. So I never use the coil split at a gig only when jamming and writing at home. The neck pickup of ok when using gain, not my favorite but in the neck position with the coil split for cleans sounds awesome.

Indeed! I had quit playing for several years before I picked it back up again and this was the first guitar for my "second" guitar journey haha.

Hey Allen! I actually sold those pedals before I could do any more videos but the mods went great! I currently have some new videos coming with a lot of pedals reviewed, as well as a series on building my first clone pedal. Please subscribe and you'll get to see them as soon as they're live! Thanks for watching!

You can always lower it more yourself

Hey Sarah! Mine played fine when I got it from the previous owner, but I did do a setup on it myself, as I do for any guitar I buy. I might do another video and update everyone on my experience with this axe.

Agreed! Super usable!

Nice! I ended up putting a D-Tuna on mine too! How did you like having it on yours?

@@burresseffects Love it. With what I like to play, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

dono Graph-Tech Tusq nut! Did the trick!

Where did you buy the nut?

​@@soulvaccination8679 I heard he busted it himself...

Sal Thanks for watching Sal! That’s just the room tone you’re hearing. I didn’t get to mic up the amp properly so I apologize for the lack of faithful tone!

Thanks for watching, Roland! Sadly I didn't have much time to set up lights for this video as I had to get the axe shipped out fast!

Hey Sky. The neck is about average for a Les Paul type guitar. I’ve noticed recent model Epiphones have a thinner tapered neck these days. The Agile is more vintage styled with a rounder 50’s style neck. Hope that helps. You can get Agile guitars from Rondo Music but I recommend looking at Harley Benton guitars too.

Blake Burress thanks so much for getting back to me. Which guitar would you recommend? Trying to get a good guitar but not looking to spend more the 350-400.

Sky M. No problem at all. What kind of music are you wanting to play? Will this be your first guitar? You can get a Harley Benton SC-450 for around $200 shipped from Thomann, and those are a great value for the price.

Blake Burress jazz, rock, alternative. I have a yamaha pac112v but it isn't that great. Looking for something with a really nice sound quality and most of the reviews for this guitar are excellent.

Sky M. Well, if sound quality is the most important factor, I’d recommend trying out whatever models you’re interested in at a guitar shop and comparing them to find what you like best as “best sounding” is pretty objective and you’ll be the one playing it, after all. That’s a great opportunity to see how the guitars feel too. How it feels in your hands and how much it weighs will affect your decision too. I played a a bunch of Gibson and Epiphone Les Paul’s to compare to the Agile, and it felt closest to an older Gibson. That is to say the thicker rounder neck as I mentioned before, and it was fairly heavy since it’s all mahogany with no weight relief. I like the feel of a Les Paul, and I don’t mind a (literally) heavy guitar so that was fine for me. The pickups that came with the Agile sounded pretty good to my ears. It’s possible to get a dud with Agile as with any brand, and that’s why I recommend trying out some guitars in person. At least try some Epiphone Les Pauls and maybe some LTD and PRS SE single-cuts. I don’t know how hard it is to do a return/exchange through Rondo Music, so consider that too.

Thanks Eric!
