History:
Bascially I prepped the wood out, and was going to do the burst with spray cans from Stew Mac, but screwed up my first attempt. Then I sanded it down, sealed the top again, and attempted to sell it as a project. Then, I decided to use my water based wood dyes to do the sunburst top and finish it up myself! Came out pretty nice!! It is not a perfect finish, and there are some dings on the back from stray solder, but it turned out awesome, and I'm pretty happy with it!
I bought this as an unfinished Agile AL-3100M, all solid woods, 2 piece maple top on a 2 piece mahog back, mahog neck, triple binding on body and headstock, single binding on neck, ebony board, trapezoid inlays. Instead of getting a regular Agile with a poly finish, I decided to do this in nitro to get that classic feel and tone. Its a very thin finish, perfect for letting the guitar resonate and age well!
It came with Grover tuners and graphtech bridge and nut. I added Seymour Duncan PRrails with the Triple shots for so many tonal possibilities. It can do hot humbuckers, p-90s, rail coils, and parallel vintage style humbucker tones, and every combo in between!
Here are a couple teaser pics:
Go here to see all of the pics, from the day it arrived from the factory to the day I finally polished it:

Go here to check out all of the sound clips! So far I have done dirty, bluesy, and solo styles, of each combination of the pickups (P90s, Rails, Series/parallel humbuckers).

Asking $550 paypalled and shipped CONUS. Its not a perfect factory finish as I described above but it is a mighty fine guitar and has amazing tone and feel. Comes with Hardcase from Rondo music as well.
Send me a PM if interested!
Thanks,
Dre
