Hi everyone,
I have been browsing this website for the past few weeks and I finally decided to make an account
I am considering buying a 7 or 8 string guitar, but I am leaning towards 8 just because you basically get a 7 string with an extra string if you ever need it. From what I have found, Agile seems to be the best brand for the money and quality, but I will gladly look into any other options out there.
The guitars I have narrowed my search down to are:
Agile Interceptor Pro 727 EB EMG Tribal Red DOT - RondoMusic.com
Agile Interceptor Pro 827 EB EMG Black Flame DOT - RondoMusic.com
Agile Interceptor Pro 828 EB EMG Black Flame - RondoMusic.com
Agile Interceptor Pro 830 EB DNC Blue Flame DOT - RondoMusic.com
Ideally, I would like a guitar with dots on the fretboard, but only some of Agile's guitars have them for some reason. This shouldn't be too much of a problem though.
The main thing I am worried about is the scale length. Coming from a 6 string with a 25.5" scale length, adjusting to a 27",28" or even 30" might be hard. What are your opinions and personal experiences with this?
As for the tone I am trying to get, After the Burial is a good example of what I am looking for. I will probably be tuning the lowest string down to E, so this will also factor into which scale length I will choose (I was thinking 28" would be a good compromise between playability and tone).
What do you guys recommend I buy?
