NGD Intrepid Nattie Pro

[Cameron]

Only 1 little scratch on the whole thing. I'll have to send back the "intrepid" case, it's too small, but I don't need to bring this guitar anywhere anytime soon.

Sorry for the upsidedownage

ONLY blemish I found, too bad its on the front...

So close...

The board REALLY needed a wipedown, and the action had to be adjusted. Other than that it's perfect. The wood on the headstock has almost a grey-ish tint that makes it look like some ancient petrified wood or something its pretty sick. I took the ugly truss rod cover off, but 3 gaping holes and the horrid route cavitys looked even worse, so I put it back on.

Thanks fer looking

That's a shame that the Intrepid doesn't fit into the Intrepid case. :\

It looks great, though!

 

[Fred]

Really weird about the case but nice score otherwise!

 

[Mattmc74]

Congrats!

 

[gunshow86de]

Congrats, and nice photo skills.

I'm gonna be royally pissed if my case doesn't fit. Did they ship the guitar inside the case? If so, how the hell did they do that?

 

[Bobby]

Thats a sick guitar. What do you think of that EMG?

EDIT: Totally posted in the wrong thread, sorry about that.

Wow, you totally hijacked Cameron's thread.

 

[LordHines42]

Ehhh, if it doesn't fit in the case, how did they ship it to you? Are you going to return the guitar? This happened with my RG8. It had a nasty black scuff on the top side of the headstock. Totally unacceptable. So I exchanged it with SameDayMusic. The replacement was perfect. I feel ur pain.

Totally off topic, but I think you should try air drying ur shirts from now on.

I ordered the "intrepid douglas case" a week before my intrpid was coming, I realize now I should've ordered it WITH the case, they would have seen that it doesn't fit and probably swapped it out with a bigger case. But then i got the guitar days later and theres like an inch and a half of headstock overlapping. I even measured to see if I could cut out the padding on the other end to make room, but it was still and inch shy. I emailed kurt, other people have said they got a CNB case when they ordered their guitars to come in a case. That's probably what I need instead, or maybe just a bass case.

EDIT: lol that shirt is a youth large from like 2 years ago I think (I was a wittle guy) but I love Ion Dissonance so I still wear it.

Man that thing looks nice!!!

Congratz!

Thanks for sharing these pictures; loved the natural finish on that beastie. This might be a bit counter, but have you thought of having the truss cover plate replaced by a wooden one? I ended up doing this and in one case modifying the plate from it's original shape (was a small rectangle) to something that would fit.

Agile surprised me with a 12-string I picked up from them for nothing off of Ebay.

His fits. I also got a response from Kurt about the matter.

They seem to fit ok in the Douglas cases we are shipping them in - they don't fit in last years Intrepid case because the head stock changed

That is same case I have and it is a very loose fitting case. The Guitar slides around inside the case a good two inches back and forth.

The guitar definitely fits in the case with a bunch of room to spare.

I might have too add foam material to the case around the body to prevent sliding...

Is this typical?

 

[TomAwesome]

It's fairly typical when you get a case that's not designed for any specific guitar, like the one my Strat VII is in, but when a case is designed for use with a specific guitar, I really don't think it should do that.

You will always be little to me.

I couldn't imagine putting my RG8 into a non-fitting case and having it bump around like that. Ugh!

Are you going to be replacing or exchanging any of this? What about that scratch? I keep reading about how their Agiles were shipped all messy. SameDay had a great return policy, which is why I ordered my 8 through them. What does this "kurt" fellow have?

Congrats on the Intrepid Pro. Mine arrived with little to no issues. some glue or polish residue on the upper frets, but overall nice. I'm very impressed with this being my first Agile purchase. I'm an 8-string Noob. So I bought it more for 'curiosity' (to learn more about extended range & tunings) since it was cheaper than an Ibby, a Schecter or ESP. Glad I did.

I passed on a case. I live in the city so running around town with a Hard Case is rather, well, hard. I had a Mono gig bag that just fit it.

Many thanks to Darren (who started all this) and to Kurt for making it all happen. Have fun to all Intrepid owners.

Thanks everyone, I've emailed kurt and he said its because the new ones are longer, and I'm swapping it for a tweed case so now I can look like a grandpa.
