Did anyone else buy one of the Agile Spalted Tele's?

I was just curious, because I've had mine for a while now and I have to say that I LOVE it! I ordered mine over week before they were ready to ship, and they only stayed on the website for a couple weeks and then they were gone. I was wondering if anyone here got one, and if you did, what you think about it.

Love it...hows the sound and fret work?

The fretwork seems to be pretty good, although they look a little short. I don't know if that's because they filed them down low or just used short frets. I love the way it sounds. Mellow enough for a vintage vibe but hot enough to get some nice pinch harmonic sqealies on the bridge pickup with high gain distortion. I'm not really a tone guru but I just hear that little bit of extra "mojo" when I play it. My only beef about it was that the action was set a bit too low, which causes a significant amount of string buzz. But I've been tweaking it as much as my limited setup allows and it's getting better.
