Agile AL-3000
Price: ~$400

Sound 5/5 - Honestly, I don't think you will get a better sounding guitar than this at $400. My friend spent $500 on some epiphone sg thing and I compared it side to side with this, no comparison. Rondomusic makes good guitars for the price. If you want a decent les paul sound but can't afford a $1500+ gibson LP, than go with this. Obviously, it isn't going to match a $1500 LP, but this guitar will outperform almost all epiphones, even the higher-end one(in my experience). Remember that it is a Les Paul style though, so if that kind of sound/style/shape isn't for you than stay away.

Instrument Quality 4/5 - For what I paid, this can't be beaten. I can tell it is sturdy, and it has also held up extremely well for however long I've had it. It's freaking beautiful. This much attention to my guitar for $400 is pretty ridiculous. It could definately pass for a more expensive guitar.

Playability 4/5 - Eh, LPs were a little harder for me to adjust to, but I got use to it in time. Not much for me to say here.

Overall 4.5/5 - The highest score I can give without being perfect. Believe me, I've played plenty of guitars, and mark my words, if you are looking for a LP, or a decent guitar in general, you WILL NOT find a better deal than this for under $400.

Worth the price? Yeah. Considering that this outperforms almost every epiphone that I've played - even the pricier ones, I'd say it is worth it.

Would you have paid more for this instrument? Probably. The price is one of the charms, though. I will say this, and that is that this guitar will outperform nearly every LP-styled guitar for under $1000.

Edit: grammar errors
