Differences in these - Anyone help me out?

[Strokes77]

So i am in the market for my first electric, as are most on here... I like to play all kinds of music, but mainly, AC/DC, Classic Rock, Zepplin, stuff like that... I would love to play hendrix type music also, but its too advanced for me now...

My budget is stretched at 450 for the g-400 so that Agile fits into it better...

I picked up a Fender blues Jr. the other day and love it, just need an axe to play on it. (currently borrowing).

Here are my two choices I believe.


Epiphone (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/518291/)

or

Agile (http://www.rondomusic.net/valkyriehc.html)

Can we discuss?

I've heard very good things about Agile guitars, especially for their price. I was personally looking into the G 400, but ended up going with a "real" Gibson SG (I love the look of those guitars.) Both would probably be fine choices, especially for a first electric.

This site could help a bit:

You may also want to look into a (Mexican made) Fender Standard Fat Strat, as those things are increadibly versatile, and would fit your style very well. They're also a good deal for the price.

Also- buy used, like I've said at least 1000 times on this site: When you buy used, you can get a better product at a cheaper price. Ebay is the way to go, if you're into buying used.

wtf howd u manage that...? =\

i would go the agile, basically because i've heard more good things about them. never tried either of the guitars though, so my opinion could be redundant :lol:

I've heard bad things about Epiphone's quality control and such, assuming I wouldn't be able to try before I buy either one of these, would Agile be more likely to turn out better?

Also, how are the pickups comperable between these two?
