I finally received my Agile Tele 7 string (HSS config) but it took over a year before I got it (not the roughly six months estimated). The price was probably less than half of a Carvin, but frankly you can't beat Carvin's quality. Having said that, Carvin doesn't make a guitar like the one I got from Agile (and when I ordered it the Chapman and TL70 weren't available).
The Agile is a well made guitar, but I have been eyeing both the Chapman and the Carvin TL70 with great interest lately. There is also the ESP TE-7, although you would still need to deal with the active pickups. I briefly had the SCT-607b and it was a nice instrument as well, although I needed a real neck pickup and not the middle position.
Do you have a thread on this? My current guitar is a agile and I quite like it. But the texans didn't have the options I was looking for. And the custom shop is closed for that model.
