Agiles back up for ordering, 30" scale available!

[Galius]

Just went to the rondo page and it looks like Kurt is taking orders again. I dont see any Interceptor 8s yet but mabey he will add some 28-30 inch this time around. Also there is a Dual Cephus Pro in 30" lenght!

Agile Intrepid Pro 830 Dual Cepheus (Deposit) at HomeOld

I really want another AGile 8 but I have to wait and see if there will be more rosewood models or Interceptors added.

 

[Scarpie]

that is awesome!!!!! finally at the scale i've always wanted

 

[leftyguitarjoe]

I hate not having money

 

[Shannon]

Is this the only one, or will there be additional colors?

 

[Ishan]

HA! I hope they'll do one of those dual standard ebony/bloodburst with that scale, I'd buy one in a heart beat!

 

[technomancer]

Is this the only one, or will there be additional colors?

There's like ten Intrepid variants up for preorder, sign up for Rondo's mailing list.

+1, I only see one finish/option scheme for the 30" scale, and would love to see at least one different finish. (Trans black? Bloodburst? Ocean burst? Not that I have anything against natural wood grain.)

Either way, I'm pretty sure this makes my year.

sweet

 

[CAPTAIN SARG]

they could have at least added 27 or more frets rather than 24

 

[shoot2thrill]

fuck you economy....fuck you!!

 

[Pingu]

Imma order the Pro 28" with the ebony fretboard. Going for the single pickup one so I can add in a slant in neck in the future. As well i'll probably ditch the finish and put a solid colour on it.

I have two paychecks left over after paying bills so might as well.

 

[ghoti]

If only I had any money...

I'm really GASsing for that 28.625" Pro with 2 passives right now Best parts of the Std and Pro in one package. The colours, woods, hardware and design are also pretty much spot on what I want... Although I really wouldn't mind that ebony board

If I wind up with more cash than I need after summer then I might well order one! That's some amazing value right there.

From the page:

For proper intonation set low string to F# below regular E. Then normal tuning up from there.

Is that not supposed to be F# below B, then E?

 

[Setnakt]

Is that not supposed to be F# below B, then E?

Correct, although baritone B is not generally considered a "standard" tuning for whatever reason so

I would just like to reiterate for the benefit of no one in particular that Rondo would seem to be totally awesome and superior to all other guitar companies. That is all.

Seriously considering pulling the trigger on the 830. It's exactly what I want minus an ebony board and possibly a different finish. Only $700?! How long do I have to weigh my options before these are gone?

 

[Harry]

Really cool news, sweet.

 

[Eisi_dt]

I wait for the 8 string Interceptor

just a thought guys. if you do not see a color/scale/fretboard option that you are interested in, email kurt and ask him if he can add the option for the one you would like to the website.

that is exactly what i did on the 3rd run. he only had one or two options for lefties, so i emailed him and later that day he replied back with "check the website now", and he added a lefty option for just about every model!!

gotta love the customer service you get from this man.

 

[Lankles]

I am about a 5th of Jack away from putting deposits on at least two of those.

(Un)Luckily I am out of Jack, for now.

I told Kurt I wanted the 830 with ebony board and ash wings in charcoal, and that if he could do any two of those options he'd have my deposit today.

He thanked me for my "detailed input" and told me he'd consider it for future production.

Sounds fair enough. Do you guys think he'll do it? It seems like a viable option set, and every other intrepid run has sold pretty quickly...
