Got my first 7 string and 8 string guitars today. Both Agiles. Both seem to play and feel pretty good. The 7 string has a grounding issue that I need to fix but I'm thinking about switching the pickups to SD Blackouts anyway.

You guys have any advance for a new extended string player.

Damn, I guess nobody likes my shit

Not sure about your shit but those guitars are sexy!

I have wondered about the super Strat styles from Agile for quite some time. I really like my Tele clone!

One of those neck through, string through 6 string models would be cool to check out. It makes me wonder how they compare with the LTD MH guitars...

I've never got into 7 or 8 strings, do good to manage six but
those looks pretty dang cool. Congrats.

That 7 is ridiculously hot...would hit...

Also, fretless...you have the best NGD input ever. Please don't ever stop. EVER.

Holy shit! Score.

I had that exact same 7 string. Great guitar, but it was the "yeah 7 strings really aren't for me" wake up moment. Yours have the Dimarzio Blazes in it?

HNGDx2! Looking good yo.

Play bass?

I believe it has the stock pickups, Cepheus. They are surprisingly good. I'm surprised that these Korean guitar are pretty good all around

Man, they USED to come with dimarzios. All of Rondo's nicer guitars did until some DiMarzio rep opened his mouth about how they weren't worthy of using their pickups.

So dudeman was like "FAK U. I USE OTHER STUFF"

Yep, I've got one.

Nice bass - I love the color!

The guitar on the left in the OP is awesome too.

You appear to have blue yourself, Orbis.

HN15stringsD!

Dig the Intrepid 8 with the Maple!

Yep, now I have 3 blue guitars

I'm loving that one the most.

Does Sweetwater sell any 8-string pickups? I don't think I saw any on the site.

I can get you anything you want from Seymour Duncan/Dimarzio/EMG

I'd do D-Activator 8s... Bone dry, clear, nice top end, articulate without being scratchy.

Hit me up at work, not here, and we'll chat.

HNGD, those are hawt as hell!

I had a Ghostburst dual-humbucker Intrepid for over a year....I personally thought the bridge pickup was kinda bland. I always suspected it was more due to how far from the bridge they spaced it, but I dunno, never tried swapping it.

I tried hard to bond with it but never could; it was crazy heavy and just too damn huge for me. I've since sold it and my 7 and decided that 6 is all I need.

Mine actually seems light even with the bigger neck. I guess ash is lighter than other woods or maybe I'm just used to Les Pauls, so the weight doesn't bother me

Not sure exactly how much this one was. I got both guitars is a trade. But if you go to rondomusic.com they have the different ones available and the price
