Agile AD-2800
This guitar is a real beauty. I keep looking at p90 guitars, even though I’m intending to get an ESP LTD PB-401 with P-Rails pickups some day. Still, guitars like this one keep popping up at Rondo music and shaking my resolve.
I’m definitely sold on the idea of P90 pickups. I’m increasingly leaning toward a clean, black finish. Except that I keep being drawn in by deep red finishes. This black cherry looks amazing. I also am still lusting after a PRS Soapbar in red, and even the plankish PS-100. If the ESP LTD came in black cherry I would be totally hooked.
Now it’s a matter of waiting, setting priorities, etc. My pedalboard isn’t complete yet, so it may be next year by the time I get the PB-401. And that’s okay. I am in no hurry. I like having things to look forward to, gear-wise.
For now we have other issues to deal with as regards the sound at church. We’re getting rid of ground loops with hum-x units (by EbTech), and squaring away some issues with our drums. We are more able to deal with mix than before. We have better management of platform sound levels and spillover. We have more musicians and singers available from week to week. Yet we still have to deal with levels, rotations of people, and some noisy lights that seems to bleed into the amps even when there is ground loop protection. There are more problems behind us than remaining, so there’s no discouragement, but I don’t need new gear to fill my time.
That’s without talking about work, medical stuff, and the VBS my wife is heading up.
Gear can wait. But these red P90 guitars are certainly worth the wait. Gorgeous, with rich gutsy sound. They just ooze appeal.
I got this guitar. It really is awesome. I just want to hang it on my wall and LOOK at it all day it’s so pretty.

Please let us know how it sounds, feels. You can post a mini-review if you want. I am nearly jealous enough to go place an order.
