Well as some of you know, I got a gift card to my local guitar shop and was planning on getting a used Agile 3100 this week... ( Here's the thread about it https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=215923 )
The gift card arrived in the mail on friday afternoon, so on saturday I made a trip to the shop. I walked in and my guitar guy John said he would go grab the Agile from the back room, as I was waiting I looked around and I noticed that they had got a lot more used gear in since last time I was there and they were having a big sale. As I walked around the corner I saw a mint condition Goldtop ESP LTD EC-400AT in the used gear (I've wanted one for FOREVER!!). I took both guitars and went over to the amps to try them out, after playing them for a while I decided I liked the ESP even more than the Agile, it just played so nice, it looks amazing, and it already has a JB/59 set in it. The Agile was $300, it had some scratches, a few dings on the back, and the hardware was a little tarnished. The ESP was $400 but I ended up getting it for $349 out-the-door, it looks brand spankin' new! I had enough left on the card to get a case for it and a Modtone compressor pedal too. I couldn't be more happy, I played it at church today and I didn't want to put it down! The only thing is I could't get the HUGE discounts they were having since I was using a gift card to pay, the big discounts were for cash only. If I would have had cash, my guitar guy told me I could have them BOTH for $500 out-the-door... :crying: I'm still extremely happy though with the deal I got!!
And I have never like a 59 neck pickup in any guitar I have played but I actually really like it in this guitar! The JB/59 is a good match.
I haven't had the time to get the camera out yet but my guitar is EXACTLY like this one...
