Hey guys, thought I would just share my current lineup of electrics to make myself feel good. 
Agile 3000 Prestige in CSB -My numb 1 axe. I cannot believe I only paid $370 for this guitar. It is SUCH high quality and sounded so good out of the box. I really do not understand how they make these guitars this cheap. For all of the people that have not tried one of these LP clones you really do not know what you are missing. It without a doubt feels better than most of the studios I have played., and I have never seen an epiphone this good (although I haven't played an elitist). I also have yet to play an edwards, but I am willing to be that this thing would give it a run if not move in front. I upgraded the pickups to SD APH1s and although I love the APH1s, after doing the upgrade I realized that I probably didn't need to swap out the stock pickups at all. They sounded very close to SD 59s and really there was no reason for them to go. But now that I have the APH1s in I plan on just leaving them.
Jay Turser JT50 Custom - I bought this guitar as something cheap to mess around with. I was surprised at how good it feels for such a "cheap" guitar. Overall it felt much better than the epiphone SG copies I have played (although the stock pickups sucked). I swapped out the pickups and put in an EMG 81/85 set. I also put on gold humbucker rings that I actually got for a steal (paid $7 for these rings that are metal and sell for $50 from allparts). The guitar is an absolute metal machine with the EMGs and sounds like a monster when i thump palm mutes. I have a set of gold grovers on the way because the stock tuners suck, but after that I think the mods are done and it is a damn fine pimped out axe!
Squier Tele - I just got this one from Kac yesterday. It is a pimped out Squier Standard Telecaster with the Dave Mustaine livewire pickups. The thing is a beauty and I am just now getting used to the mustaine pickups. They don't roar quite like the EMGs but seem to have better tone for lead as you would expect. I can't wait to put this thing through the ringer!
Orlando Tele - SOLD
My vintage tele copy that I have had for many years. Boxed up and ready to be shipped out this afternoon. Oh well, had to make some room.
That does it! Hopefully that will be the end up my lineup for a while...bank account cannot handle much more!
