Agility

 

This had been my (last) weekend's fix. Basically stayed home to work on ideas & thriving on just a single pickup. Might have forgotten to wipe the strings down because they were stained / black today. A deserving re-string today & onwards to my next adventure.

Fusion Thursday

Spent time with my Agile Septor 625 today which was left unplayed for quite some time.

The pickup mounting ring cracked at one of the corners & broke when I removed the screw. I gave up looking for a replacement piece because Agile used a slightly longer version back at the factory & the ones sold in the stores here are mostly spaced for Gibson. I managed to find one online & waited for more than 10 days for it to arrive. I have a spare DiMarzio humbucker in the house & it went into this guitar (Fusion Edge). It sounds rather likeable here. Hmm...

Agile: Septor Pro 625 EB Nat Ash Custom (2)

I'm with simplicity these days. People warned me against being too simple to such an extent I am left with no options to vary my tone. Well, there are many of us out there who would rather work with the options we prefer & this is what I prefer in the mean time; bare minimum. Reason- more focus on ability than excessive tinkering. 

I've replaced the default Cepheus humbucker with a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker to complement the light ash body. The overall acoustics sound bright so the Dimebucker adds bottom end girth while accentuating the ash's brightness. Yes, that's quite the Dimebucker specialty- elevating that brightness into a rich harmonics content. It's quite the opposite of what a Duncan Pearly Gates would do, really. As usual, all re-wiring done by Beez, including the push-pull coil split (volume knob) option. If not for the push-pull affair, Beez would have done it under 10 minutes.
