Fast delivery, guitar is in great shape, it plays smooth, is HEAVY LOL. Oh and you don't even have to guess I'm a big Meshuggah fan This is my first 8.

The finish is darker than it looked like on the site, the guitar is gone from the listing for some reason, but it's got a green and purple streaking. Beautiful.

Looks awesome, just gorgeous. And yeah, the charcoal Agile 30s have always screamed Meshuggah at me. I have the single pickup version on my Christmas list!

Another redditor welcome to the forum! Looks great!

Thank you guys
Yes I'm on reddit, but over some years I've found googled links that lead to 7S.org. So basically I've lurked here on and off too. Actually that's what happened with me and TGPF.

This was actually a christmas present to myself! I've never ordered from rondo music so I figured I'll try 3 weeks in advance, I'm in Australia. Early christmas for me.

Oh and I've got Schaller strap locks for it already, gonna put those on later today.

Love the Intrepid shape and headstock

How's the scale on that monster? I've got a bolt-on swamp ash Intrepid in a 28" scale.

you don't need to do the "cross post from" thing here, this isn't a subreddit!

The 830 Charcoals are HAWT though!

Well I felt like doing it so deal with it but it prolly goes to show I've been on reddit that long, doing that is normal for me. I HOPE they put up more Charcoals, last time I checked they're gone. They disappeared about a week after I bought mine which is weird.

I love your version too, second/third preference! Mine's the 30" scale and I didn't have problems transitioning to it. Just the width of the nut and extra strings takes some getting used to. The key is to play for at least half an hour a day and I get used to it more and more. It's a fun guitar.

Are you sure yours isn't the bolt on? I looked at your pics, and the neck didn't look like the maple/walnut/maple neck thru and the body didn't have any indications of it.. Is it just the swamp ash 30" scale one?

 

[SPNKr]

^ Yeah man, it's the 5 bolt version. Maple skunk stripe going down the middle, even though the neck is all maple haha and it's the charcoal. [NGD] Agile Intrepid Dual 830 EB CP Charcoal - Imgur lookie.

Yeah, mine has 5 bolts too if I remember correctly. Heel's not bad at all.
