I've ordered one. Excellent experience and quality. Would recommend, they also do some options out side of the builder if you ask (they used to offer 8 string floyd option, it's not on the builder anymore but you can still get it if you ask... Just for example)
Does look a little bit off, wouldn't be a deal breaker though I don't think. I've seen quite a few guitars that aren't 100% perfect alignment, but as long as you have a couple mm+ leeway on either side you wouldn't feel the difference anyway
So your schecter c8 didn't have the metal hinge plate...
it's kind of hard to tell, but the locking nut/neck width on the interceptor looks to be improved from previous versions. older interceptor pros outer strings were WAY too close to the edge of the frets/fretboard, so they either widened the neck a little or narrowed the nut... it still doesn't...
Tonocracy by atomic amps is now free... Amp sim+amp capture+fx/IR. You have to make an account, but it looks pretty cool. Will be downloading a bit later, worth a try
If you're gonna be wearing it on your back and not hauling it with other equipment, a GOOD softcase might be fine, but for any hardcore travel or potential roughness a hardcase is a must
i would imagine they could, but i dont have experience with them personally. i would personally intonate the 12 fret (also fine tune intonation with the 24th fret as well if you have one) and then check the nut height and intonation in frets 1-5. if the nut height is right and the rest of the...
absolutely do not need compensated nut. only requirement is that a standard nut be cut to the right height... intonation issues at the nut only when the action height at the nut is too high and/or heavy handed fretting. compensated nuts don't make any sense unless you have true temperament frets...
native is a million times better than tonex. i wouldn't bother but im sure you could find some use. tonex runs like shit tho, laggy and buggy as hell on my pc
another good reason why it's good these companies aren't releasing much new stuff this year, they need to catch up. I'm sure the pressure of demand isn't helping QC at all
I have an agile 8 string... 27" and I think it's a hell of a guitar regardless of how cheap it is. my only complaint is the intonation on the 8th string as well as sounding a bit weak, but I haven't put on a heavier string yet as I can compensate easily for the shortcomings. anything 25.5 to 27"...
