The Official Agile ERG Thread

I just got a couple of emails from Kurt about the Standard 8 model.

It is confirmed to be a bolt-on model now.

However, there will be a couple of minor spec changes:

The ash body is a more expensive proposition than Kurt originally thought. Probably $50 to $75 more. However, he can also drop the neck construction to a 3-piece maple laminate, which he feels will still be a stable neck (and i agree) to get the price down to $525. BTW, both models will have dual truss rods, which should also make the necks more stable and tweakable.

You guys okay with that?

Ordering should be coming soon.

Dude, it sounds fine to me. As long as that ash is still getting that sexy gray stain I'm all over it.

 

[TomAwesome]

Sounds great, Darren!

Its good as long as it has angled headstock and bigass volute

Wouldn't it be better to change the body to alder then ?

 

[kurtzentmaier]

Will target to start takings orders on the intrepid STD as of Wed next week 5-28

I'm with you, I'd prefer the better neck construction with an Alder body, but I'm assuming it's a little late in the game to get that changed, and I'll probably order one either way.

Great news for Drew and/or anyone else that wants a Standard/ missed out on the Pro.

 

[Stitch]

Any idea on how many will be available, Kurt?

Also, dual truss rods is GREAT news!

Probably the same as the Pro, not many

The flip side is there will be more runs unless something goes wrong with them

 

[Wound]

Does anyone know if you can get a case with any of these?

 

[darren]

No case is included, but it will fit in Rondo's baritone case, which you can order separately.

 

[Ishan]

I hope the baritone case will fit my custom 30" scale Intrepid Pro it's worrying me a bit Kurt says there is no case available for it right now but maybe latter.
I have a 4 months wait time so it should be ok I guess...

 

[TomAwesome]

^ A 6-string bass case would fit it just about right, wouldn't it?

 

[Ishan]

Maybe, but it's more like a short scale bass so I don't know. I guess I'll ask Kurt to try a few cases when he'll get the guitar from Korea.

 

[kurtzentmaier]

Ok Here we go:

Agile Intrepid Standard 8 Charcoal

Agile Intrepid Standard 8 Dark Burst

Agile Intrepid Standard 8 Charcoal / Ebony

Agile Intrepid Standard 8 Dark Burst / Ebony


Kurt

 

[supertruper1988]

Damn i wish i had the cash for the ebony burst one

 

[theunforgiven246]

Ok I was thinking today, I know thats a bad idea but anyway, I was thinking that since kurt has the abilities to make his own hardware, why not if the 8 string model goes well then maybe look into making his own 8 string tremolo?

 

[Wound]

just placed an order for the Agile Intrepid Standard 8 Charcoal / Ebony :-D

 

[XEN]

Damn you people snatching up all the ebony models!!!
