edit 3:
have you tried any 'vintage' les pauls? if so how do they compare to agile?

Is that Vintage (the JHS, Trev Wilkinson brand) or vintage as in old?

JHS indeed

I have played a lot of the vintages.

And they are nice guitars but they still have that budget feel if you get what i mean.
A lot of the ones i have tried have had sharp edges on the frets as well.

My agile feels a lot better built the finish is superior and it plays just that bit nicer.

thanks for this helpful response, and also to d'n'l for his breakdown.

And a (probably dumb) question from me:  did you keep any of the volume/tone controls working on this one Ben, or is it just pickups to switch to jack?
Sorry, didn't see this Q earlier.

For now the wiring is bog standard, but that will be changed soon.

Played the guitar last night @ rehearsal using: Black Dogs > Tommy Bolin fuzz > Splawn Quick Rod > Bogner 4x12. Very loud. Sounded great!

I know EXACTLY what you mean, I'm really picky about how the finish feels, and the trems are just.. Atrocious, in my opinion anyway. But everything else felt good for the price.

Never played one of these "Vintages", but I have the same Agile as D n' L and the quality is outstanding for the price. Fit and finish is damn good, fretwork is nice, nice low action. Damn thing came perfectly set up out of the box. I love it. Does way a friggin ton though. I just ordered a set of black open coil Miracle Men for mine. Should sound pretty pissed off.
