I agree. The nicest seven I've played yet was a custom shop Mayones with a 25.4" scale, and the B string didn't warble at all!

I think that it's a good choice to go with a longer scale for the Agiles though. Guess theres a better chance of getting clarity F# string this way.

I do however agree that an additional model eventually with a 25.5" or even 25" scale length would be cool to allow an additional high string

ACTUALLY that's what I was talking about. I probably just should have talked about the poll directly though but like I said I don't care too much since I've never played anything over 27".

except for how those higher notes might sound. I love the extra space to move around up there but I'm not too sure about how it sounds. DAMN PHYSICS.

I hope rondo releases the eight string it other scales too.

I'm guessing the headstock will look something like the one on this:



As for the logo, i could care less. It could be scrawled on there with a red Crayola for all i care.

I'm thinking of buying a Swineshead APEX pickup for my Agile Intrepid Standard as a replacement for the Agile brand pickup. Would there be any issues with this? Or should it fit nice and easy (no gaps etc) ?

[technomancer]

Considering that the Swinesheads are sized the same as an 808 while the pups in the Standard look to be more 'normal' sized passive pickups it would probably not fit without routing.

[darren]

I think the Swinesheads are meant to match the mounting screw placement on the 808, and to fit inside the same cavity. Because they still have mounting tabs, they'll have gaps around the shoulders when placed in an 808 cavity.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Agile passive pickup is close to or identical to the Swineshead dimensions, since we provided those to Kurt as an example of what he could do in order to give people aftermarket options.

Actually pre-orders have already been taken for both the Pro and Standard and both models are sold out for the initial run. There should be another run of them assuming there are no problems with the initial builds. IIRC the first run is being delivered around August, so I would guess orders for the second run would be taken in September.

Looks like I need to keep some spare cash around once September comes....
