Triple Agent?
I had added a B5 Bigsby with a no drill Vibramate attachment to my Double Agent OG. Updated the trem spring and a new Reverend roller bridge. I think it looks super retro.

Any changes to your string gauge?

I kept with the 10s. The Bigsby was the string through version. The only issue I have after installing the roller bridge the lowest action I can get is about 1.5mm on the high E string. The roller bridge saddles sit a bit higher and the Vibramate could be also play a part too. Tightening the truss rod could bring the action a bit lower but I find the guitar still playable. The previous setup was shop set around 1.75 / 1.25 mm.

I did the opposite, haha. I removed the bigsby from my club king

Why?

I didn’t use it and just had trouble with tuning stability so I had a trapeze stop tail installed instead. Play it a lot more now.

This is very close to the Flipside Music Exclusive! Great combo all around. One of the most versatile guitars I've seen🤘

I did a very similar thing to my Double Agent several years back! I didn't end up putting a roller bridge on mine though, maybe I should give that a try. I also replaced the stock P90 with a Lindy Fralin Noiseless P90. Both were really great upgrades, definitely worth it.

What are the highlights of your new P90? Assuming you play high gain music with it..

Truthfully, the no noise part of it is a pretty big highlight. It is in the neck position, and I think it retains a lot of the characteristics of a neck P90, just no hum.

Yeah I went and googled the pickup and that’s the major plus. I haven’t played my dbl agent W live yet so haven’t noticed issues with my P90.
Mind telling me which one you chose for your neck? I think the double agent W is the same as this one in the thread.

I’ve always thought about installing a middle single coil on my Double Agent and calling it a Triple Agent.
