very cool of you kron thank you sir !!
I got a quote for my custom which is basically a standard Intrepid Pro but with a 30" scale(my previous idea didn't turn out to be very doable haha)
The price is right so I'm gonna go for it, I can't wait
I've just send an email asking for a quote for customised Intrepid as well. Waiting for reply. Fingers crossed.

Buddy it was a joke!
No, no it wasn't.
Ah mate, there was all the planning and stuff that had to go into it. Personally i'm really appreciative of Rondo taking the time to listen to customers and all. It's amazing.
Well, you could always go buy one of the other eight strings with a similar quality level and price... oh wait, there are none. Also the runs always take about the same amount of time from order to delivery.
After thinking about it I completely understand why Kurt is doing this the way he is. If there are problems with the initial run, he doesn't want to have to replace 50 guitars. This is the first time the factory has ever done an eight string, so he's being cautious.
I know its probably going to end up better for us because any bugs will be sorted. And I totally appreciate the work and time put into making these. Rondo are doing a great job for us. Its just that realistically it could be another 6 months before I'd be able to play one of these, and I'm seriously gassing for one!

I put a very small additional quantity back on the site. Just FYI. But after these are sold I really want to wait for customer feedback before we build more.

Sorry, haven't been following this so sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a million times already. What about the cheaper bolt-on model?

$500, bolt-on maple neck, ash body w/charcoal grey stain, Agile 8-string bridge and Agile passive pickup. Will be available for order in VERY limited quantities (if the Pro is any indication) for the first run sometime in the next few weeks.
Sorry Kurt,
I've been doing a lot of soul searching as of late. As great of a deal as this is, 27" really is my limit on what I can comfortably play as a main axe, so I reluctantly have to pass.
If you ever do a 25.5" or 27" 8-string Interceptor w/ an 8-inline headstock, I'll be all over it.

I have no idea if this has been discussed, as much as i have been following this thread and have read close to all the pages i cant remember if it has been so i'll bring it up anyway.
I just thought it would be cool and very sevenstring.orgesque if Kurt was to take some pics of the models in production and put them up on the site as the blocks of wood evolved in to monstrous 8 strings or something like that. I understand if its to hard but it would be off its head! if it was possible.
Anyway what do you guys think?

Considering that the guitars will be built in a factory in Korea which Kurt doesn't own, and that Kurt is in NH (IIRC) I really don't see this happening.
Yea but he could always ask someone over there at the factory to snap a few pics and send em to him

Right. The factory workers probably make a fraction of what you do on a weekly basis, and taking pictures of guitars in progress isn't likely a part of their job description. Anything that slows down the process, taking more productivity out of the factory, will increase the cost.
Wishful thinking, but i don't think it's going to happen.

I believe he still is... orders will be coming within the next few weeks. Again, the number will be VERY limited.
