hopefully the agile is wired like a LP

Wire the hot(i think is black) to the pot and ground the bare and green together, then solder the red and white together and tape it off somewhere

OK here is the thing
it looks like the Caps are NOT bridging the two pots....
it looks like the cap is just soldered off onto the back of the tone pot.

it works like a les paul and you get the same volume tone response etc.

I think I may just buy 4 new GOOD pots etc and re-wire it to these kind of specs

i say try it the way it is and see if just swapping the pickup does fine

if you think about it, grounding the other end of the pot to the back of the tone pot isnt all that different from grounding it at the volume pot .. ground is ground is ground

new pots are not a bad idea though .. new CTS 500K audio taper pots will be higher reliability than the stock import jobs

good luck

ps - for the JB in the bridge, solder the white and red wires together, then tape that junction point with electrical tape ... solder black wire to the pot and green wire and bare wire to ground

I'm will Bill on this one. I'd replace the electronics in that guitar. I have an Agile 3000M and as nice as the guitars are, the electronics are pretty bad. If your interested, I've got wiring kits that will work with those guitars....
