I sold most of my guitars and gear a few years ago so my wife wouldn't be saddled with all of it if I croak. Did the same with my stereo speakers.
Kept a Gibson LP w/P-90s, an American Fender Strat, a MIM Tele, and a Carvin my wife bought me back in '95/'96.
Decided I "needed" another Les Paul to play with. So I found an old Agile 3000. Real book-matched maple top, ebony board, MOP inlays, Grovers, decent frets, etc. I owned another Agile years ago, and this one is just as well built. Better than the recent Epiphones, for sure.
Came in a ratty gig bag. Chrome is all faded, jack was rusty. Frets look like it has never been played. Neck relief was spot on. Bridge saddles untouched. Can't prove it, but I think the strings were factory...
I modified quite a few guitars in the past, so I had a bunch of stuff laying around. So I pulled all the electronics and wiring out and installed a long Switchcraft selector switch, Switchcraft jack, Guitar SHop "Custom Taper" CTS pots, a Jim Wagner Godwood in the bridge and a Gibson '57 Classic in the neck. Orange Drop .015 and .022 respectively.
Not many clean tones in this bad boy. It growls through a '74 Champ, no pedals needed. Neck is just a little thin for me, but it will work.
I'll get some photos up later.
