Agile Interceptor Pro arrived! Pics! (56k = Sanjaya fan)

[jacksonplayer]

Hi guys...

I just read through the thread, and I noticed that some of you consider replacing the TRS with an original Floyd Rose. Are you 100% sure they can be retro fitted without re-routing anythin ? Because if they are, then this guitar is about the best thing I heard of in a long long time, and I'll be getting 2 of them...

I'm not 100% sure that an OFR can be easily retrofitted. Not because of the routs, which should be fine. However, the studs go into some kind of metal plate that sits below the trem, and I'm not sure if this would be a problem with an OFR. Probably easier just to put a Tremol-No on the existing trem and set it to dive-only.

BTW, I paid $599 for mine, to answer an earlier question.

Hey all, my Interceptor Pro just arrived a little while ago. I've only had a chance to take a few pics and plug it in for a few moments. Here are a few first impressions.

--Solid, with some heft to it.
--Real flame veneer, no photoflame
--Dual EMG 81/7's; never seen that before
--Chunky tone w/nice clear low B
--Thicker neck than I expected, with "C" profile; much like a Carvin--about medium for a 7
--Nice little touches: pearl "Agile" logo, flame veneer on headstock, big strap buttons
--frets: more medium than jumbo, about what you see on LTDs; dressed better than LTDs but not as well as Schecters
--No horror stories yet; setup out of the box was decent, actually

Overall, I'm pretty impressed from a few moments plugged in. I won't really be able to give a good playing impression until I get the guitar fully set up the way I like (action low enough to buzz a little, tuned down 1/2 step, etc.). Anybody out there looking for an old LTD M-307 or MH-307 should basically stop now and get one of these. Here are my pics:

My friend has that guitar in transparent black.

Neck through model looks sick - love the matching headstock. Too bad the baritone has a black headstock..

Kurt, make a baritone neck through

The Interceptor is 27" and the Interceptor Pro was a neckthrough 25.5".

Very nice!

I have mad gas for one of these now. Thinking about making an order for the pro 25 black flame. Thanks so much for the details. This may be my first SEVEN.

No complaints from me, except that you're making the wait feel a little longer.

That's pretty funny that this thread gets resurrected just as the guitar changes hands. Christopher, I'll be curious to read your comments about the guitar. I think it's a fantastic player, and I wouldn't have sold it if I didn't have other musical needs and a lack of space.

I'll be sure to let you know. FedEx says Monday, and I can't wait. Funny thing is I already got the trem claw replacement screws from Stew Mac. I understand the musical needs / space, I just got my Agile Strat yesterday and it's a fuckin' monster.

I just KNEW that this was gonna go out the door after the KxK came in. Doubly so, since you got the Jackson sounding good.

Yeah, it was kind of tough to let the Agile go, since it's been good to me. But I just don't need a bunch of different guitars that do the same exact thing.

Shit, that thing is gorgeous!

You gotta change that avatar dude, coz you're still playing MY guitar . How's things? Let us know how it compares to the S7, I'm curious about Agile's quality since my interceptor.

Hey man how are you? How's the S treating you? I know need to change my avatar, but if I changed it every time I changed guitars, I might as well leave it blank!

Congrats she looks sweet! The top on it is awesome, and that blue is gorgeous!
