so i have a jay turser JT200...gold hardware, the really nice looking purple model...love the sound...
but...
i have a agile valkyrie double neck and that guitar sounds soooo much sweeter...
(i also have a platinum warlock which sounds killer too)...
i'm startin to tthink that although i love my JT200, it may be the weak link in my set-up...i have started thinking...
would it be best to sell and get a Agile les Paul...as they are killer guitars for dirt cheap...or...switch out the pickup in the JT200, giving it a little better sound...or...live with it, and enjoy the differences in the way the different guitars sound...

If the JT 200 is not solid wood then don't bother replacing the pickups...unless you want a guitar with EMGs in it...I have heard plywood guitars with EMGs that still get that signature EMG metal tone.

JT's arent as good as Agiles.. but on par with SX. Ive tried all 3. And Agile is the winner.
Find one used though, when you add in the brutal UPS shipping + a brand new Agile LP, Its not really worth it.

I'd definitely go for the Agile. I love my Al-3100. The value really outweighs the price.

Go with an Agile, and sell the Turser. I've had my 3100 for half a year now, and I've sold or traded most of my other solid bodies, including a couple of Carvins! I've owned Gibsons and Fenders as well, but nothing plays as sweet as my Agile. Of course, no two hands are the same, so what feels good to me
might not feel good to you.
The nice thing about Rondo is all the costs are included in the shipping, so it justs comes to your door.
Keep those fingers moving<G>.
