I don't and I have to say I hate the way that body has been sort of "pulled" out of shape!

Yeah, that Agile is weird looking. If you want a good SG knock off, check out the Epiphones

Here's my only SG, an Epi. It's great, I love it!

Yes, it's a 2003 Epi G-400 that was a b-day present from my bass player. I primarily use it in open G tuning. Love it!

Yuck!

Heres a better looking knockoff than the Agile IMHO:

I like it better than the Samick knockoff

One of the reasons I picked the Epi Elitist SG over all the other knockoffs, was because they look a lot like the early '60s SGs, and they were more or less afordable. More affordable than the Gibson '62 SG reissues anyhow.

Haven't pulled it out for a while, but it's fun to mess with for a day or two. Some day I expect to upgrade the hardware, and install a better bridge PU. Already swapped the neck PU.

A friend of mine has an older JB Player SG set neck that was made in Korea, , he did upgrade the pu's pots etc but the neck and body are great,it's every bit as nice as a real Gibson for a fraction of the cost.

The Epi G-400 Vintage (Faded) series is superb!
