Well, not actually. I got it in December after a 6 month wait. First pic is of my G-400 and '61 SG. SG is on the right. The rest are of my SG. I have to say that Epiphone has upped the quality of their guitars considerably since my last purchase. That was quite a few years ago b4 I started buying Agiles. This will probably be my last. Usually the first thing I did with Epis was gut them and put in new pups, tuners, switches, pots, etc. Not on this one. The thing that got me interested was the neck profile. My G-400 has a chunky neck, the '61 is slim and very comfortable for me. The pups are very acceptable. I put Gibson Burst Buckers in my G-400, these pups are surprisingly similar.
Only a couple of complaints. First is the veneer on the top. The G-400 has a nice natural grain top, the '61 has a striped veneer top. Second, I changed the strings right away. They used to put D'Addario 10s on them. It came with Gibson 10s. Big difference. Third, I had to file down 3 high frets and lower the action. They may have left the action higher because of the high frets? All good now. I . think I had to do anything to all of the Agiles I’ve bought over the years. Overall, I’m very happy with the guitar.
Oh yeah, I forgot. Definitely like the new headstock!
