Members etawful Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 has anyone had any first hand experience with the xavier "lps" caus i was reading online and what it sounds like is it will be like hit or miss. some people are saying that their guitar was amazing and some were say they were alright. thanks! I don't have any personal experience with the Xaviere guitars, but I do know that Jay stands behind everything he sells and you wouldn't have a problem returning it if you were unhappy.

Members Zemmy Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 out of the epiphone les paul standard plus and plain you what do you guy think is better? if the only thing that is different is the maple top do you think that is worth and extra $100? in my opinion between those two, i'd take the plain top in honey burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stoneball Jack Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 The only guitar on here i've had experience with is the Epi Standard plus. It's a good guitar but the pickups are crap. I personally don't like the neck but that's just my personal preference, it's definitely quality. Just don't let a girl hold it cause she'll drop it then you're be left to wait for the neck to fall off:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rock n roll Posted June 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 yea but if i get the plus i dont want to replace the pickups. i am really considering an xavier for 200 and replacing the pick ups. if anyone now about the quality of the xaviers please let me know?

It doesn't seem that many people have used the xaviers. Agile's have been around for awhile and good for awhile though so i would trust them more.

Members docjeffrey Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Definitely, LTD EC-401 or if you want something pre aged, the EC-256. Slightly over your budget, but you should do yourself a favor and rustle up the extra $100. Great guitars. EMG's sound amazing on these guitars too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrokenFighter Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Agile AL-3000 w/ a case from rondomusic comes out right around $500. The one I got plays WAY better than any epi I have ever played, better than all Gibson Studio's I've played, and better than most standards I've played (sometimes you do find a nice one, but its so dang hard). So Agile AL-3000 is the way to go IMO. Best bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members etawful Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 what about the agile 3100 is it better than than the 3000thanks! Not much difference between the two. One has MOP inlays, one has abalone. Minor difference in the wire used for the electronics, other than that identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 Epiphone LP Tribute. I just got a mint used one, a bit over your budget, but not much. With the exception of the lack of a nitro finish, it is basically an upgraded Gibson model. Gibson '57 humbuckers, long neck tenon, Switchcraft components, asymmetrical neck (love it), hard shell case. Only 2 colors, but the black is very nice, you see some of the solid maple cap coming through the finish. I can't say enough abou this guitar. Superior to any of the other Epi LPs I've owned (2 plain tops, both nice, and a MIK LP), Gibson Special LP, Agile LP, PRS SE (played great, but the pickups don't compare to the '57). Here are the specs: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=319&CollectionID=6 Not a great pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 ^^Those Epi LP Tribute guitars are the real deal. I like the Agile 2500 and 3000 series too. You can hardly go wrong these days. So many great guitars for bargain basement prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 R&R...The best thing you can do right now is go play some guitars. You really need to know what you want before you spend a bunch of money. Hang out here, ask questions and, most of all, read other threads. There are a lot of discussions here about many different guitars. One more thing...Since you still seem somewhat inexperienced, you might be better off buying used gear. That way if you mess up (and you will) and buy something you end up not liking, you won't lose your shirt when you want to get rid of it. Go look around pawn shops or used gear stores. Don't be in a hurry and keep looking til you find that really speaks to you. Heck, I've been shopping for a 5th Avenue for two years. It paid off..I found a new one right here in town with case for 1/3 off. Glad I waited. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
