The Official Agile Intrepid 8-string Thread - Darren Rules!

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.

Sounds great, Darren!

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

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.

Kurt

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

Stitch · 05-22-2008, 08:26 PM

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
