Well it is finally complete!! Here are the pics from arrival to completion of my Agile AL-3100M unfinished guitar. It may also be for sale soon, just to see if anyone would be interested.

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! At the next string change I will be flipping the pickups to put the rails on the inside, as this should give even better tones!!
