What the hell does an Agathis body sound like?

Why not get an Epiphone Les Paul and BKP it up?  It worked for _tom_ and Hunter who get great tones out of them, and my BKP'd Epiphone SG ain't too shabby either  ;)

That would be a better way to spend £400 in my opinion if you're not going for a used Gordon Smith...

where are you in the UK? there are quite a few GS dealers around, as far as I know. Though if the price is pushing it...

We used to have a great music shop called modern music in my town (Abingdon) the entire ground floor was music, and the staff were very accomodating and friendly. Now dawsons are in there's barely any CDs, there NO good amps, and they give way too much wall space over to some awful gibsons. GAH! when I want to try some decent guitars I have to travel into Oxford, to go into PMT (clearly named by a man with no girlfriend, apparently it stands for Professional Music Technology) or to the Oxford Guitar Gallery. Both are out of Oxford central too to make matters worse. Rant over.

^ aye, when i went to the oxford guitar gallery when I was there just over a year ago, I thought it'd be a good idea to walk it. in 30 (celsius) degree heat.

I missed that, for some reason. that's horrible customer service. not to mention the dunlop wah (assuming they're talking about the gcb95) is cr@p too, so that's basically a tacit agreement that "now you can buy a cr@p wah pedal, only for cheaper!"

Feline have a SG with a pair of Warpigs for sale in Seconds Out, with photos! It's under 400 quid.

The problem with the first epiphone SG is that he said he wants something that's a step up from a squier, and while epiphones are somewhat better, they hardly represent a significant step up. still, if he could get it for under a ton then he could do some serious pimping on it.
 The Felined one does look like an interesting proposition though.

Might be a bit of a trek for you but there is a new(ish) guitar shop in Reading

http://www.theguitarworks.co.uk/

I've never been there but I know the guy that does all the guitar repair and set up work for the shop. He says that it is a decent shop and miles ahead of Dawsons. (Our local Modern Music has also become Dawsons and it is $hite!)

I've seen the guitar in the flesh and I'd say go for it - It's very nice.
