Ah, great home for em'.
What's the verdict?
Improvement or just different?

I am not done yet. I have a ground/hum issue so I will start from scratch - ugh!!

Thanks, I have this diagram. It works fine. I just have a hum when touching bridge and pup covers and switch. One of my ground solders is not happy.

Nice looking guitar.
Maybe the blemish is hidden under the edge of the pick guard?
I'm actually getting curious about Agiles and have a desire to try one out maybe.
Just to satisfy my curiosity that is. (That's how the S2 Mira thing started.)

I have a bunch at my house you can strum. This one did not need any fret work.

My wife found the blemish in under 5 seconds!

The Agile had ceramics, but they were nice and mellow. I put the dragons in so I would have some variety in my Lps. I already have P90s, x 2, Burst Buckers and BKP.

The Dragons have Alnico 5s

[RobV]

I resoldered the pots hosting most of the ground wires. It is quiet as a kitten now.

It now has black pup rings, back plates, switch, and jack plate. The PG is gone and the holes have been filled with dowels and topped with a dab of green paint.

The pups split individually from the volume pots. The bridge measures a mean 12.56 and the neck around 8.75 charged with alnico 5 magnets.

It is nice.
