The best guitars Kurt sells are the higher end Agile guitars with the alnico magnet pickups like the DLX-2800 ( and higher ) Les Pauls. I use one of those myself with the band I play in. IMO they are much better than the Epiphone copies for the price. They really do use maple slab tops and the frets are nicely hand finished. There are a huge amount of good reviews for these at Harmony Central.
