I reshaped the lower horn a fair bit in the end
as well as the back cutaway i widened the gap to give it a more defined point and make it look cooler :D

Hmmmm ... GLOSS WHITE .. indeed
ohyes
as my camera was being a bellend i didnt get any painting pics but it was soooooo long boring and mind numbing that no one would want to see it anyways :lol:

After about a week the painting was done! :woot:
The following monday i had a box from Thomann arrive :D

X2 EMG 707tws pleeeeeease!
...sweet!

now for some incest! i took the neck pickup from my Agile Interceptor Pro 27" and put it in the bridge on my septor.
then put the 2 new emg 707tws in the neck posistions of both guitars
11 SODDING HOURS it took to solder them badboys in! i suck at soldering! i have a big hole in my arm to prove it where i lent on my soldering iron :rolleyes:

i also put a killswitch in my interceptor pro and will do the same to my septor (i ran out of solder and had to stop after puttin the pickups in :lol: )
after asking many n00bs questions about wiring i had some cool diagrams for wiring the killswitch so it cuts the battery power too when disexganged - VERY helpful when ur are clumbsy as i am and alwasy leave it plugged in which drains the batterys big time!

Woo

Unfortunatly i suck at using tapemeasures apparently so the pickup housing is slightly too big BUT iv orderd 2 pickup rings and they will cover up the slightly-too-big-holes nicly :yesway:

so ya
after much effort and shit....































*drum roll*

Out there, somewhere
Can't say I'm crazy about the new horn shape, but from a functionality standpoint it looks like it would rule, and the white is hot :agreed: Nice work :yesway:

Looks good. You could take it up to a higher level by clearing it some more, wet sanding, and then buffing it. Also I would get EMG pickup rings to cover up your routing.

:yesway: to self mods!

Nice fucking RC cut! I need to learn how to do that on my Septor. I really want to, but I don't want to fuck up the paint.

Looks Nice! I like the sculpted in lower horn for intense streches up there on the highest frets. The finish is awesome too, I love white finish guitars when they turn out good! :agreed:

Nicee. I am also quickly becoming an Agile fanboy. They are great.

I kinda liked the blue more tho.. but thats just me lol the headstock repainted is cool tho, thats my main beef with Agile, Black headstocks suck.
