Agile 8 string!!!

[Sifu Ben]

You've gotta love Agile's commitment to specialty guitars. I'm not an 8 string fan, but this looks seriously tasty for one, and check out the price!

good price!! the bridge alone is over $100  - EMG is about that too

[il˙ti]

It's all the rage at sevenstring.org. Lots and lots of horror stories about this one though.

I'm on the verge of ordering a Pro in Ocean Burst.

And ilyti, the issues are only on the pro model, the standard is flawless, and the issues are purely cosmetic issues, like mismatched walnut laminates, or typical prototype issues, bridge should be 2mm further back etc.

^Oh I know, that's why I'd rather save a few pennies and get a standard on this one actually. I've heard nothing bad about the playability of these things.

[Philosoful]

Loooks quite awesome indeed! But that price worries me...

[Sifu Ben]

I am as we speak noodling on my $599 Agile Septor 27 7 string, and it is wonderful  8)

[MrBump]

Very cheap.  But then you would need the money for additional finger surgery.

[Roobubba]

Go for the 12-string! Then you won't look like a total ****er :)

Hope this helps,

And here's the same guy playing some Mercenary. It's the stock passive pickup and it sounds surprisingly decent I think.

Ordered one, same finish, last week. Not sure about the 808 and I'm assuming that they get the prototype glitches sorted out. 250 quid now, 200ish later, plus whatever VAT gets added. Bargain!
