I ordered a custom Tele 7 string last year (September or October?) with projected delivery date in May 2014, but still waiting. Unfortunately, in the interim I have gone kind of minimalist and am trying to sell off most of my extra 7s, to keep just one electric 6, 7, and 8. Anyone else still waiting for a May 2014 run?

My recently acquired Intrepid Pro 727. Upon arrival I had the Cepheus pups surgically removed, and gave it BKP Warpig implants. Added a push-push on the tone knob for coil tapping. With the long scale I run Daddario 10s with a 0.62 B string. It does drop G very nicely. Guess I've joined the club.

hate to ask but did you even try the agile pups? lol!did you really unbox it and go straight for the pup swap?

A fair question my friend! I played the cepheus pups for about 2 weeks. They were pretty hot and rather muddy... at least to my ear. Then again I freely admit to being a BKP fanboy. I have BKPs in other guitars with really good results. So I got a hold of Zimbloth and after an extended discussion decided on the warpigs, as he felt all that maple in the neck called for more low end.

I would have preferred to save the cash if the cepheus were nice enough. One of the reasons I pulled the trigger on the Intrepid Pro was I grabbed it new (not a B stock mind you) at the sale price of $499. Less than another hundred for a HSC and shipping. A bargain! So there was room in the budget for the new pickups. Result: I really like the guitar. It's an absolute beast.

My first vid with my Agile 7 string. Let me know what you think of the tone!

 

[maiksea]

I tried an 827 Septor for my first 8. I dig it, they're good sticks for the money. I kept the Cepheus pups, but I do more clean tone and jazz. If I played djent I'd prolly go Pegasus tho. I'd like to get a TN725 next, check out their tele tones.

got an Agile Septor 727 .Just got it 2 days ago. The 27 inch scale is JUST what i needed. ive been normally using my sbmm jp70 but 7th string just didnt cut it in terms of attack and tension. i might change my bareknuckle aftermath out of the sterling and put it in the new agile. but for now the cepheus pickups are actually really surprising! i have a clip if you are interested.

Hello!
New here. I'll soon be joining y'all as I ordered a Lizardburst Pendulum 72527 today.
Pretty stoked. It'll probably not arrive until after the holidays so it's going to be a loooong wait.

 

[Mathemagician]

I still owe a NGD on my custom ordered Agile Scepter 725. Glad I saw this thread.

 

[bostjan]

I also owe a NGD on an Agile...

Same, but mine has a few dings now.

I had a 6 string LP copy 2000 model I think. Unbelievable for the price but I didn't really like the classic LP neck joint. Ended up giving it to my nephew and he loves it.

Does anyone have one of those agile multiscales with a kahler trem? the concept is super cool and no company makes them in production models except agile that im aware. Ive heard from a custom builder that the multiscale kahler bridges are very finicky but thats just one persons opinion unrelated to agile. Any thoughts?

 

[randomas]

Oh wow I never came across this thread ... I never did an ngd cause I joined after getting a 7
I live in the EU so to get one I had to have it sent to my brother in the states and then have it forwarded here ... The case was destroyed but the guitar made it fine. It's a fanned fretted 7 fixed bridge with actives. I Love it and you cannot get better fro the price, expedition hassle included ...

and a few more.

Finally arrived just before christmas

I had an Interceptor 827 I got in trade, traded it to my other guitarist. One thing I have to say is I would prefer a standard bridge model. The string spacing so SO close to the edge I was bulling the lowest string off a lot. The hipshot style is narrower and gives a little more room on either side of the F# and E up the fretboard.

On another note, there is definately a 727 Oceanburst maple board in my future.

I am trying SO hard not to buy this right now:

[nistley]

well color me surprised, there is originality in that one

 

[LiveOVErdrive]

They're calling it a "prototype", so hopefully they'll have a whole bunch of headless models soon. Ideally with 7+ strings. And multiscale.
