Agile 3100 Silverburst

Well, I happened to check gc used this morning and they had one for 250 at the Natick MA store.
I've always wanted one so...order is placed. I wasn't crazy about the increased price tag if getting one via rondo (I think they're 450/500 new now)
This will be my 4th Agile Silverburst. As long as its not a turd I plan on keeping this one! I've not had a 3100 Silverburst yet. I've had a 2k, Dauntless, and my first Agile back in 06 was a 2800 after seeing Tool live.
I plan on making my own versions of JB and 59 for it

I saw that one. Thought about buying it, but they didn’t have a picture of it up yet. Glad someone here got it. Seems like a great price for a 3100!

Great buy! I love the silverbursts. My first Agile ever was a silverburst Valkyrie, which quickly led to a large stream of 3100s / 3000s! Does the one you bought have the block LP custom style inlays? I know a bunch of the silverburst runs did!

Dude, that's a sweet price! I've never had a silverburst, but it's on my list.

Hey there Tim, glad to see you made it over here with us! Actually just posted about that Silverburst (and a Valkyrie Prestige) here the other day, happy to see you grabbed it cuz I remember you were on the hunt for one of these. Let us know how it turns out...and once yours arrives we can compare weight. Mine is quite a beast at just over 11 lbs, but one of my favorite Agiles I've ever owned over many years.

I'm pretty sure I was jealous of yours and the deal you got on it!

Haha yessir, good ole GC used. You got a pretty similar deal with this one, mine had been professionally refretted with stainless frets and had a Duncan JB in the bridge for something like $240. Either way I wouldn't hesitate to pay five times that for one of these (resale value aside, just talkin' quality for the $) and I'm sure you'll feel the same

Hi, Tim.
What kind of sound can one expect from a JB? What music style are they better at? (Tim, or anyone)
Thanks!

The JB is pretty hot/high output. Emphasized lows and mids. Great for leads. Pretty versatile for rhythm as well. I would say it's a rock/metal/punk pickup, as long as you aren't concerned about a really tight/cutting treble response. Alnico 5 magnet
I LOVE this pickup in my strat. Lots of folks use them in LPs

I see why it was only 250. No damage other than a small ding or 2.
Man is it filthy though. It'll clean up though

Yeah it looks like it needs some work, I get those on occasion. You’ll make it right.
I’m very interested to hear what your JB pickup sounds like, maybe you have a link to tone example?

I really have never posted clips to be honest.
I'd like to eventually get to that, but life has been getting in the way. One day.
