David:

Not sure if you've already pulled the trigger or not, but I thought I'd ask a question: If you like your current Agile, why not get another one? For $500 you can get the Agile Cool Cat Prestige. That has a few nice things like ebony fingerboard and abalone inlays. I mean, for that price, you probably can't go wrong. Worse-case scenario is that you send it back and you are out shipping costs. Most reviews of Agile Les Paul clones say they are a better guitar for a third of the price, so perhaps the Cool Cat Prestige would prove to be as good? That will leave you $1500 for a nice AES, Jazzkat or similar amp.

EASTMAN EASTMAN!!
But seriously, i have a Eastman 805ce witch i modified a bit. I Replaced the pickup with SD antiquity humbucker, got a metal bridge and equipped the guitar with soundposts connecting the top and back.

Feedback is not a problem because of the soundposts, it is more "electric" sounding than the original witch is what i was going for but the character of the guitar remains.
Got it for 1200$ on ebay and spent around 300$ on the modifications and it beats my 5000$ Gibson semi-hollow any day. Both in terms of craftmanship, playability and tone. Although itīs offcourse not possible to compare so different guitars in terms of tone

You can hear how it sounds here if this is something that interests you:
