So yeah, saw this Intrepid 828 Darkburst B stock for $399 on Rondo and i was like I MUST HAVE!
After a short talk with dad and after watching the Rugby (GO ALL BLACKS) he purchased it.
Sweet, it comes in a week! Actually less... 5 Days, like it said - cept me and Dad were eating Cabonara pasta and were too engrossed to hear FedEx ringing my door bell - that was yesterday.
Up at 7am, out the door by 8.20 - we dropped brother off at school and proceeded into town past the airport. Nice lady at the FedEx desk already had the Box from TEH USA at the front waiting for us. About 30s later, I HAS MY 8 STRING.
Obligatory picthread.
THE BOX
THE INSTRUMENT OF MALICE
INSTRUMENT OF MALICE IN THE BOX
THE CASE (also Obligatory Periphery hoodie)
IS THIS A CASE?
1...
2... (plus sneeze face - yay cold...)
3... (tired, not used to getting up before 11AM on my freaking holidays)
WHAT IS?
OMG 8 STRINGS??
THE GAT!
THANKS DADDY!
THE 'KNOT' THAT MADE IT B STOCK
NEED EXTRA STRINGS!
THOUGHTS
Well i didn't think that i'd get used to the extended 28.625" scale, or the extra strings - but about 20minutes into playing the god damned beast - i'm in love with it. The finish is really really nice in person and there's no dents etc on the body of the guitar. Fretwork is okay, couple of bumps and dents on the neck, (only like millimetres in length).Cepheus is good and tight, albeit lacking OOMPH (saving for BKP now?). The neck feels absolutely amazing, MUCH more comfortable than i thought it would be. Body weight is also amazing - AMAZINGLY lighter than my Schecter Omen 7 by FAR.
CONCLUSION
Absolutely amazing guitar for its price, sounds great, feels great, looks great.
Well done Kurt!
