Before you do that, do you still have the stock strings on? Because, although it says they ship with .072s, they actually ship with a .062 or .064 or something tiny like that. I went up to a .068 and it was a HUGE improvement. On my 27" Interceptor 8 I have a .072. But I definitely like the .068 best on the Intrepids. It still has a very bright sound, and isn't all bassy and muddy.

I have the 29" scale so I'm thinking go with something bigger than what they shipped it with.

Yeah. And what he's saying is that they only ship with something around a .062. So, try out a .072 or so first.

.090" or .080" is probably overkill for F# at that scale. Hell, I'm using a .068" for Eb below that at the same scale length (I'm assuming by 29" you meant 28.625").

ah, ok, yeah I didnt really know, sounds good, I dont want to over do it.

For the preorders? January, I think.

...i want one...

My Agile is going to have a 30" scale and I was going to use the leftover strings from my Agile Baritone (13, 18w, 26w, 36, 46, 60) and I will use a 10 for the high E.

Does this mean I should also use a 72 for the F#?

I was going to get an 80 but, after reading this, I'm not quite so sure.

Yeah. And what he's saying is that they only ship with something around a .062. So, try out a .072 or so first.

Multi-Scale Intrepid Proto is moving along nicely. Hope to start taking deposits in early 2010

[Meshugger]

At the end of the neck, is that a "zero"-fret or something?

^^This!

 

[Galius]

I dont know how anyone makes it through this......it hasnt even been 3 months and still about 3 to go before we get our orders. Its driving me nuts!! I was lucky enough to order an extra in stock intrepid when I got my first.

 

[AlexThorpe]

Does anyone have any idea what the pricing could end up looking like, and the total scale length?
I didn't follow the voting thread to see and now I wish I did

 

[MF_Kitten]

wait, WHAT? that shit is actually happening? my god, that is so awesome!

i see it´s a 7 too, which i assume means they´ll be doing fanned fret 7 AND 8 strings?

i´ll have to sell more stuff!!! (nope, not really, but i´ll want one some day for sure!)

I'd assume that that's just a prototype to get the angles of the frets worked out.

...I hope(even though I won't be getting one)
