I can agree with some of what the naysayers are saying(there's cheaper/better options, bad resale value, who knows if you'll even like it in ten years), but in my opinion, there's waaaaaay worse mistakes to make as a 19-year-old. He's buying an overpriced guitar, not hard drugs, diseased...
New 8-string I got about a month ago! Love everything about it except the pickups, gonna get some Ionizers for this bad boy, which I have lovingly named Blastoise. It's an Agile Septor 827, and it's much more blue than the picture led me to believe, which I think is awesome.
1 - John Abernathy (Conducting from the Grave) Holy poopballs, is this guy good. Seriously, best guitarist alive right now. He will play circles around anybody else brought up in this thread except for Tosin Abasi. But we all know Abasi stands for A Badass Android Shredding Intensely. I see the...
Honestly, it's whatever for me. I don't have the means to get to and from the closest Guitar Center to fingerdiddle geetsticks, so I wouldn't really miss it. I'd never sell anything there again, and I haven't bought a guitar from there since around 2010, and for good reason. I remember one visit...
I have a 725 Septor and I love the poop out of it. The pickups are crap, but those are easily upgradeable anyways. If you're looking for a cheap ERG, Agile is where it's at. It won't be a Prestige/BFR/custom, but it'll be be better than most of the other offerings in its price range.
That's kind of oversimplifying it. Going from a six to a seven might just get you a few steps, but going from a six to a nine gets you an octave plus, and the appeal of the extra strings is pretty much why this forum exists. Different guitars for different music. A C# on a six-string sounds way...
I guess you could say it's so cool having a 7-string again that i forgot to post about it. The 8-string thread will be timelier. Out of the Zach and Zack's resposes, I'd side with 6, being that I don't really like active pickups. I don't hate on them, if somebody else wants them that's cool...
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100748230477361&l=4117853abf So I got that in early November and have thus utterly failed in regards to a timely NGD thread. It's an Agile Septor, bolt-on, mahogany body, 25.5" (which i prefer due to having narrow hands. Obviously, I'll have to make...
See, that's the thing, I consider being locked in a box the absolute worst fate possible. Death is relatively quick. And being locked in a box when you used to be a superfamous rock star? Knowing that death could come at any moment or locked up in solitary, which is what they'd have to do to...
Yeah, because fighting fire with fire works so well. Nobody's saying the guy isn't a scumbag, they're just saying that he doesn't deserve to be brutalized, tortured, and murdered on the basis that nobody deserves that. Honestly, considering how far he's fallen, spending the next 35 years in...
