It's here!! the Agile 7 string!!

It really sucks that the guitar is not 27" scale as advertised. Hopefully this is just a "prototype issue" and the production pieces will be extended scale.

Drew · 08-31-2005, 12:55 PM

My understanding that this wasn't a prototype, darren, but rather a small batch of 7's they did, and that this is essentially it. I'm wondering if this was just due to miscommunication?

Hmm. I may have to do that. Did you play it?

My understanding that this first batch were prototypes, and that production models would be coming at a slightly higher price.

I actually spent about twenty minutes with it (COW7) in the loud lounge. Other than the neck being painted, it felt really comfortable. Nice neck profile, chunkier than an Ibanez, but very easy to play. The fretwork was suprisingly good, and highly polished. It balanced well with a strap, and looked really mean in all black.

That being said, I now know that I don't want one. Only one pickup, and it was an EMG. I'm not a fan of EMG, and with the odd shape of the 707, I'd be stuck with EMG. It pretty much sounds the same as any guitar with an EMG. I'd need a neck pickup, too, because it is really limited. I also question if it is really mahogany, because the thing was lighter than a Fender Strat. It's a really good seven for $600, but I just know that I'd be tired of it after a couple of months.

Yeah the COW is pretty sweet looking but I already have a multiradiused schecter with a hardtail and a 707. Im ready for a 7 with a floyd on it already and im not ready to give in and become another Ibanez dude yet lol. I really want jackson to get off their duffs so I can sport the jackson logo 7 string style. You know something like cooley's jackson "I cry everytime I see that guitar" BTW what did they do to him to make him go runnin back to Ibanez anyhow. Come on jackson if Rondo can do it you can do it.

Jackson dropped all their "B level" endorsers after Fender bought them. (I know, I was one of them.)

There won't be a USA Jackson 7 string unless there's a huge upswing in 7 string players - it's too much of a niche market, and detracts from Fender's "Build the same guitar with 20 different pickup and headstock combinations and call them different models" theory of operation...

Want a 7 string with a Floyd? Call KXK. He's itching to build one...
