The Official Agile ERG Thread

[Adriatic]

You guys haven't been here when we were discussing them fretboard woods )

actually... i think i recall reading about that somewhere in the thread..


i would like to see a natural finish on the standards for the next run ....

 

[RomeApartJizzy]

It's the burst i'm more concerned about.

My point exactly.
The second mock up had a lot more black in the fade towards the edges and not as much blue...

I am totally preparing to sell it or trade it for a Sunset/Dark Burst Standard Rosewood...

 

[hairychris]

I asked Kurt for some shots of the Pro Ocean Burst, and he sent me a front shot of the the standard ... but a back shot of the pro.

Looks like the blue over mahogany didn't turn out too bad.

Oooh goody!

If the burst looks good, I may regret switching my order to a Natural Pro.

 

[FireaL]

So will the pro ocean burst have the wood stripe down the middle showing through the finish on the front?

 

[darren]

Yep.

Based on my mockup template, here's how Ocean Burst MIGHT look over mahogany:

This is why i didn't initially show this as an option. Kurt decided on his own to do this colour/wood combo. If the mahogany is really light, it might look okay. But i have my doubts, and i have a suspicion that this is also why we haven't seen any shots of the front yet.

It's funny that you are worried about this, because this mockup is the one that finally made me decide that I was going to get an Intrepid and that it was going to be an oceanburst. I like it.

Same here! that picture never left my desktop... until recently. It has been replaced...

Eh, I agree with Darren that it doesn't look quite right. There's something about having a brown undertone with a guitar finish that's supposed to be reminiscent of water that just isn't right. It's not awful, but it would look a lot better with a maple or ash veneer under it.

Haven't you heard about what is happening to the environment? Thick brown water is the 'wave' of the future man.

 

[eegor]

If it had ash wings instead of mahogany I think it'd look good.

Edit: Also, lol @ Kent.

Yeah, well then I guess I'm old fashioned in what color I like my water to be.

 

[highlordmugfug]

This is going to be a big "first" guitar for me.
Firsts for me on this guitar (aka my first...):
Agile
neck through
active pickup
blue guitar
burst finish
mahogany
8 string
28.625" scale
Hipshot Bridge
Can't wait. Also,

Yeah, well then I guess I'm old fashioned in what color I like my water to be.

"HEY YOU DARN KIDS, GET OUT OF MY YARD! STUFF COSTS MORE! I USED TO WALK THOUSANDS OF MILES EVERYWHERE! I EAT PRUNES! WATER'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THICK CHUNKS OF RADIOACTIVE FECAL MATTER IN IT!" <- You being old, doing old stuff.
So march 3 is the estimated day these buggers will ship out, right?

 

[darren]

Just a wee bit of confusion. It was the "order" thread i asked to be closed, since it keeps getting bumped and it was only for the first run.

This thread is still open.

And BTW, i'm going to start neg-repping any one who sends me private messages asking about ordering an Intrepid.

READ THE FAQ!

 

[eegor]

set neck

I believe you mean neck-thru.

Sorry about that, I wasn't aware that it was only for the first run. That's my bad.

I believe you mean neck-thru.

Also my bad, I have a bad habit always calling both of them set neck even though I know what the difference is. Maybe because my subconscious is dumb and likes the shorter words so that's what comes out. My bad.

 

[eegor]

It's all good. Back when I was a n00b I thought they meant the same thing because I didn't see any differences

 

[Galius]

I want one so bad right now I wan to cry. The new headstock looks so tits!

 

[Krankguitarist]

Aye, is march 3rd here yet?

Sheesh, how long can a man wait!?!?!?!

I have a better shot at being a priest than waiting much longer...
