I'd say that the carvin is the best option, esp since you said you like 25.5" scales. But if you are just going to spec it to copy the C-7, then mise well get a C-7. The 26.5" scale is not a big difference, IMHO.

So maybe the C-7 is the best choice, if thats the look/etc you are going for. If you want something abit more personal, spec out your own Carvin with your fav color/etc.

The Agile is great too, esp if you are hurting for money, but I like my Carvin stuff more. Although, for a "shredder" guitar, the Agile is probably the best of the 3, just I find mine kinda weak sounding (maybe its the EMGs, and Im not a mahogany fan) My Agiles feel alot like Ibanez RGs, my neckthru IP feels like my old 6er RGT in alot of ways, and my Septor (bolt) feels alot like my old RG7421. So if you love the ibanez's a lot, maybe go for that.
