The Official Agile ERG Thread

Mines here!

Oh it's nice, I'll post the pics once I install the new tuners, strings etc......

I'm using 9-42 + 56 + 72, i think. Elixir doesn't make a guitar string that heavy, so i use a bass string on the bottom.

And i stick in standard tuning, except for the bottom string, which i usually drop down a full step to EBEADGBE. Sometimes i also do DAEADGBE.

 

[hairychris]

You're using those gauges in standard tuning at 28.625"? Daaamn you've got like 30% higher tension than me on the first 3 strings and 60% higher on strings 4 - 7 (no 8th string yet...).

Those are actually the gauges I would use for a 25.5" scale 8. Insane!

I can still 3 step bend, and the strings are taut enough to trem-pick without going all over the place. I may go slacker at the top next time but not by much.

I'd hate to use those with a 25.5 8 string...! I'm a 10 - 46/10 - 59 user on 24.75 -> 26.5 scale 6 & 7s.

It's here! Everything I heard about how nice the neck was is completely true. It needs new strings and a good wipe-down, and maybe some minor setup adjustments, but otherwise, very nice.

Pics later (i.e. after work.... yes, I opened the box at work on my lunch break)

Took off work today, should be any minute now.

When will we know about the third run? I thought I had enough guitars for a while until I heard of a possible Kahler option.

Some pics of my Pro:

You guys suck!

Mine should be here any time now ...

 

[TomAwesome]

What's that on the back of the neck, Ryan?

 

[eegor]

That's a knot in the wood. I kinda like it. I think it adds character, a certain degree of uniqueness.

 

[Galius]

I see kurt has ghostburst dual standards available, too bad its maple instead of rosewood because that would look really nice.

 

[Bakerman]

Has anyone else with a standard been unable to intonate the high E string? I have the screw about 1 full turn into the saddle to just barely grab it and the 24th fret note is ~15 cents flat. The saddle-to-12th distance is measurably greater than nut-to-12th by somewhere between 2 & 3 mm, and I'm pretty sure the high B and D strings will end up flat at the current limit with slightly lower action... search for longer screws in progress.

 

[Slayer89]

My Oceanburst Pro has arrived! Really like it.

Picstory NGD Thread coming soon.

 

[eegor]

Sweet! Can't wait to see the pics!

 

[Nightside]

[Stealthdjentstic]

[COBHC]

same

 

[Slayer89]

And here's my NGD thread if you want more.

 

[TomAwesome]

Trying to put together a set of strings for this thing is kind of frustrating. I want to try a balanced set of Elixers, but they skip so many ranges of gauges that it makes it difficult to get a set that works together. Meh.

I couldn't keep the GAS at bay any longer and pulled the trigger on a Dual Standard. Now the wait...
