Agile make a couple of black LP's in their lower cost models that are all mahogany bodies.

On the website it says they all have a maple top?

On the website are ESPs.

LTD is the cheaper brand, like Epiphone to Gibson. Many of those are all-mahagony, but even those with a maple top are probably interesting for you, because I don't think the maple top is thick enough to really have a tonal impact.

eclipses aren't les pauls
they are skinny, almost like sgs
you can't get a true les paul sound with a 3 cm thick body

Yeah, but to be honest many LesPauls have weight relief holes, so it's really hard to tell what "the" LesPaul sound is and what each player thinks it should be. Besides, I think the AT if full thickness.
