Came home from work today to find my brother playing my new Agile LP copy. Took it from him, put a strap on it, and plugged it in.... only to get a call saying they needed me back in. So I haven't had a chance to really test it out yet, and Dad's asleep in the room right under mine so no plugging in tonight. But what I can tell you about it....

Gorgeous guitar. Absolutely stunning. Real MOP inlay, triple binding, great flame and sunburst.

Ebony fretboard is smooth as can be, with a graphtec nut and grover tuners finishing up the neck nicely.

I need to put larger strings on it though - these feel like 9s where I usually play 11s. Can't bend worth crap - my fingers slip right off of these things.

Strap buttons are awesome - wide heads and really short, they keep the strap from moving at all. I don't think I'm going to bother with strap locks for the time being, there's hardly enough room for the strap on there let alone a washer or something to hold it on. They look sturdy enough.

Don't have a camera on me now but pics are coming, I promise, I know how everyone is about pics here :P

Hey, finally got around to posting pics for everyone.

Here she is!
Image

Close up of the body. Great flaming, not too over the top. The lower horn is also a lot shorter than on a real les paul.
Image

Agile 3100! Real MOP in the logo and headstock thingy.
Image

More MOP on the Ebony fretboard. Smooth as glass but the flatter radius is gonna take some getting used to.
Image

And here she is with the rest of my guitar family

Very nice! But I bet the pictures don't even do it justice. Looks like a great guitar.
