Agile HEA-65N
Ran across this one on Etsy of all places. I wasn't able to find much info on the internet for this model and it's old enough that Kurt didn't have any details. My best guess is that it was produced in the 2002 - 2003 timeframe based on some similar ESP LTD models that were made in Korea around then. I wasn't able to locate the original listing but the following is what I think the specs are:
Solid Maple Top with maple back and sides
Mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard
Abalone triangles with MOP inlays
Quilt maple headstock veneer
Bone nut and saddle
Gold plated tuners
Artec ASE4 4-Band EQ
Overall the guitar arrived in pretty good shape and you can tell it has been played but also taken care of. There are no major dents, dings, scrapes, splits or cracks. The only major issue that I have seen so far is that the bridge is lifting. I am still looking into the best approach for that repair. The bridge pins were fairly mangled so I purchase new pins and compensated saddle. We'll see how it turns out in the long run. Anyways, pictures are fun so here are a few...
