That's why I like to research where guitars are actually made. Finding the hands that built these guitars can sometimes be telling. In some cases, the same hands that build Cort guitars, for example, also build Ibanez, Parkwood, ESP, Schecter, G&L Tribute series line of guitars are among the most well-known brands. I'm also willing to bet Cort build Agile and Xaviere where the Korean made Epiphones were made (before moving to China). That said, I don't know if Cort is responsible for any of the aforementioned LP guitars. Just a hunch that I have. If not Cort then it could be Samick who builds them.

I think you have it right though Jackal. If you like Agile and Epiphone, chances are you'll like Xaviere guitars all the same after a few simple mods (tuners, pickups).
