+1 on the Agile. Go with the 3000M and you'll have a hell of a guitar for little money, which will leave you plenty change leftover to get a great set of pickups. If you aren't hellbent on the horn or headstock, its a fantastic guitar.

Not Rondo's fault.
The big G threatened law suit if they didn't change the body design.
The original Agiles had an actual LP shape, as well as a headstock that was closer in design to a Gibby.

And therefore sounded & played more like a Gibson

Navigators should be quite high up on the list. ESP makes great guitars and their top of the line les pauls should rank quite highly

(it's probably a better Les Paul model than what Gibson makes these days...)

hi there sentry,
i d choose the heritage over a gibson too !
how is the binding in the cutaway of your heritage ?
is it wide enough to cover the thickest part of the top in there ?

regards, hardangerfjol

I think you can never go wrong with a MIJ Tokai, old or new.
