I LIKE JUICE!!!
A Kahler 9? I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy that.

I think a fixed scale - 27 or 28.625 to start - still working out the "kinks" in a fanned fret 7 - then will do an 8 shortly after. I did have some interesting discussions with Kayler on a 9 string trem if that would be.... desirable?

Ok, just worked out pricing on the Kahler 9 - all USA made - (not the hybrid) at a good price. We can develop a Intrepid type bridge (Agile -8 Bridge but a 9 string version) as well.
Any suggestions?

Now we need to decide on the range - High G would be easier, but I am concerned with excessive string breakage. For the Low C# I think the grovers will not accept larger than .75 or .80 before they split when we drill them out. Going with bass tuners is a possibility.
We could use 009, .012, .015, .022, .030, .040, .054, .060 .072 so some variation and keep the grovers. Any suggestions?

Kurt, I just got my JAN 2010 agile interceptor pro 8 w/kahler today and it is completely incapable of intonating the LB and F#, it also has a lot of quality control issues.
I have spent a lot of money with you and I love the agile's that I have purchased up to this point. They aren't all perfect aesthetically but they work as they should. However, this guitar was supposed to be better than all the others and it is literally an epic failure. I have already requested the return.
I'd say before anything you really need to have the factory these are made at learn how to install these kahlers properly. Right now it really seems like hit or miss.

This worries me as mine is on its way, Anyone else have the problem?![]()

Yeah, I own five interceptor 8's, not including the jan 2010 run guitar which would be my 6th. so I am definitely not bashing rondo at all, nor trying to stir the pot. I am very happy with the guitars I have, this new one is the exception.
I hope mine was the only one with issues as well.
Perhaps it would be worth looking into an intrepid / kahler setup? I have a feeling the arched heel of the interceptor may be part of the issue in getting the bridge in the correct spot when going greater than 27" scale length.

Ah well I hope mines okay then too, Do any of your other 8's have kahlers?
If so any problems? How will I know if mines okay?
