Poll:Possible Agile 8 string wood top finishes

[DrewsifStalin]

I think it's a terrible Idea. I'm now GASing for another 8, you fucker

 

[Tirell]

GAS!!!

voted spalted maple

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

spalted looks the best imo. i know its expensive but walnut would look really awesome.

 

[TimSE]

its all about the spalted

 

[Daggorath]

The thing about these, they're only gunna look better in real life. Aslong as they don't cheap out on the wood ofcourse. GASGASGAS

 

[Galius]

The spalted ive seen come out of rondo has been hit or miss from what ive seen, but usually looks ok.

 

[The Somberlain]

First Spalted then Zebra.

 

[Antimatter]

Those mockups look awesome.

I assume you didnt notice the "pro" in the name....meaning neck thru

 

[AChRush1349]

GOD the non-ebony on this makes me cry...if there was a spalted run of 7 string pros, I would shit everywhere

Ohh, my bad dude!
I guess I kinda just skimmed through and thought you were being like "Would people want it neck-through or what?"
Yes, Neck-through is win!

I've said it time and time again but I'd love to see more barebones models which sacrifice certain features for the quality of wood. A 6/7/8 string baritone length with a nice 1 piece body and 1 passive bridge pickup, hipshot-esque bridge and no fancy finishes would be brilliant. Reverse headstock ofcourse. To get maximum rythm tone for your money really.

Exactly. There are a couple of photos on there now with none of the "black lines" that make spalts so cool. My guess is that they would, by definition, use cheaper woods to make it cost effective, much in the same way that the flamed tops don't look the same quality as a Carvin, etc. Personally, I can't stand spalts that don't have much figuring. The bass below is from Rondo, and I don't like that level of spalting at all...

 

[Malacoda]

^Yeah, that's pretty gross. But maybe these could be in an "exotic woods" category, where the buyer pays a little extra for some nice wood?

 

[Malacoda]

Oh yeah - what about 7s? I would kill for a Septor 7 spalted.

 

[LamaSabachthani]

I would easily drop money on an Agile-8, and would even more readily do so if it was done in spalted maple. I can't attest to what it would look like when done on a budget (as I know next to nothing about wood, sadly), but I know that I do very much like the way spalted maple looks... it would give me an excuse to finally grow a pair and buy an 8. Please make this.

 

[Jay Jay]

I don't know what I'd like more, a Spalted Intrepid or a Spalted Interceptor!
I'm thinking I'd go with the Intrepid just so that I didn't have the same regular superstrat shape!

I'd really love one of these! I hope these can get done at some point!

 

[Daggorath]

On the issue of wood quality; those spalted 6 string teles have always looked fantastic to me. Anything like that would be great!

 

[jbab]

I would buy a spalted maple Intrepid with a maple fingerboard (I'd prefer ebony though) ANYTIME! I hope left-handed models will be available if they do make these!! The zebra wood looks gorgeous too!
