My locally owned guitar shop just dropped their Epiphone line and picked up ESP guitars. As a Left hand player I noticed they had four different lefty models and proceeded to play each of them. They come with EMG's, locking tuners and quality of fit and finish I never saw on my 3 Epiphones!
Long story short, I purchased the Black Cherry Viper-400 and have really been impressed. I have several Fenders, an LP and an Agile-3000 as well. In my personal experience I find both the Agile and LTD are better quality that any of my Epiphones ever were.:beer:
