I have a white custom, its a great guitar for the money. I have not tried the BB but why would you want to with the great tone you get from the LP custom.

I'm not sure if the 3rd pup would get in the way? How much difference is there between a standard and a custom?

Can I vote neither? If I were going to go to a double 'bucker LP-type guitar, it would be a PRS SE Series.

Well i've decided against the black beauty, i think, but now slickCat has thrown a new bone into the graveyard! Can't seem to find the Agile for sale in UK though?

What do people think of the Agile? It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the epiphone even with shipping from U.S, which would leave me cash for a nice pedal or two.

The beauty of an Agile is that it upgrades extremely well. I wouldn't buy one with the idea of leaving it stock though.
