How do you guys like the radius of the Agile 7s and 8s? To me 15" seems a bit excessive on a longer scale guitar, like it would be quite difficult for chording with small hands...does anyone else feel this way? I have never played an Agile 7 or 8 so this is just speculation, and I realize I could order custom to get a different radius (which I am ordering a custom 7, but not by the same definition as a "regular" 7 string, more of a bass VI style guitar with an extra high string)...just wanted to know how existing owners felt about it.
On my Agile Argus (30" scale bass VI style 6 string) I find the 13.7" radius less comfortable to play chords with near the first fret, using 25-95s for standard E-E (octave down) bass VI tuning. My Schecter Hellcat VI (approximately same configuration) uses a 12" radius and it is definitely more comfortable, but still not as easy as I'd like...a "real" Fender Bass VI uses a 7.25" radius which I think would be too curvy, so I'm thinking about my custom 7 with a 10" radius.
Any thoughts?
