I have two Epiphones. A Les Paul Standard and my Alleykat Semi Hollow. Great quality for the money. Flawless finish on both of mine.
Agiles are great for the money. I know a few people that own them. You can check em out for yourself. Pretty good reviews on Harmony Central.

The ones on pages 4, 5, and 6 are better quality but cost more. I wouldn't mind owning one. I love their Root Beer colored Les Paul. Abalone inlays!!! *eyes bug out*
