Not the best spalt, but for what I paid, I can live with it. ;)

Agile 3100 Silverburst

Got this from guitar Center used back in 2020 for 250ish. It was pretty dirty and the nickel hardware was tarnished. I swapped out the hardware to chrome. I didn't want all my silverbursts to be just like Adam Jones guitar so I added a beauty ring to the bridge pickup and went a8 for the magnet. I had to reverse the neck on this one cause I accidentally cut the leads a little short.

Mods include
Graph tech bridge
Lightweight aluminum stoptail
Switchcraft 3 way
Switchcraft jack
Custom poker chip
Shielded cavities
Treble bleeds
.01 pio neck. 015 pio bridge
Volumes push push split humbuckers with 6.8k resistor
Neck tone push push for in series out of phase
