And that, folks, is the new model name!

Agile Intrepid.

So named for the aircraft-carrier sized fretboard.

And wow... both models at once? It's going to be so hard to choose! But personally, i think i'm going for the Pro.

My dictionary says that intrepid means fearless, I think that's a fitting name for a 8-string

 

[Hoff]

I've heard excellent things about kurt here replacing anything/everything faulty.

Then maybe I don't have to be so worried anyway.

And yeah, with both models at once it's gonna be tough to choose!

 

[Demeyes]

This sounds good, I'm going to get in on the first batch of the pro models if I can. I take it that these don't come with a case or any case option?

 

[darren]

One of Kurt's objectives with the final specs on the design is that it must fit into their baritone case. You can order the case when you order the guitar.

 

[Kronpox]

I'm hoping my custom fits in that case- the headstock might add like an inch of length that could make or break it depending on how big the case is. would kind of suck to have the guitar be damaged in shipping

 

[darren]

A short-scale bass case (or even a full-size bass case with some additional padding) would also probably work.

 

[TimothyLeary]

Anyone already knows what will be the money differences between the standard and the pro model?

 

[darren]

As has already been posted:

Standard: $499
Pro: $649

We are getting closer now. I will post on here a week before we start taking the orders so hopefully no one will "miss it" - if orders out strip the intial run, I will simply increase the intial run. I don't know what that number will be yet - that's up to you guys. We will do some number of Intrepid "Pro" models with the EMG 808s, Hip Shot Bridge and neck through and some number of "Standard" models with Agile Pickups and Bridge, and set neck or bolt on.

Kurt

Excellent. Thanks in advance.

 

[Groff]

This is exciting!!

I can't wait to put some monies down! I'm gonna scrape up all I can.

 

[stux]

I am so going for one of the standards once I have some cash. Seriously thank you for making it possible for us to (soon) own good quality 8s that dont cost a bomb!

Does anyone know how much is charged extra for the shipping to the uk?

 

[tofumannen]

Im actually considering getting one of each

Not a bad idea, I can always buy one of them second hand if you don't like it, the shipment won't be to bad

 

[Ishan]

That's exactly what I was thinking getting one of each... or waiting a little and order a custom

78 dollars for shipment, custom might go up to 25% if they catch it.
