New Guitar Dilemna

I find that yellow thing hideous. Looks like some 4 year old got ahold of a jigsaw and went nuts. 8 string all the way.

Agile 8.

OrsusMetal · 04-27-2008, 09:24 PM

I'd go for the 8 string personally. I don't think I'd be able to use those extra frets on the Kramer. They start to get too little to even tap on. Which sort of takes away from even having them.

You say it's only a few 100 difference...how much is this Kramer?

Thanks for all the replies fellas! I think I've pretty much decided on the 8 now. The more I thought about it, and with all the responses, I just don't think I'd ever use the higher register.

So I very much appreciate the comments!

I'm pretty sure I could. I have skinny fingers and I'm used to guitars with poor high-fret access. It's not much different than reaching above the 12th fret on a no-cut classical guitar.

I like it. And besides, everyone and their grandmother plays superstrats nowadays. Unique shapes all the way.

Kramer.

They should have a Kramer 8.

Aled Smith · 05-03-2008, 02:31 AM

Kramer i think. the agile will just be the same as the ESP 8 string and the Ibanez etc. Kramer looks more unique and probably sounds better too

how will the Agile 8 be the same as the Ibanez 8?

Ibanez : basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, rosewood f/b, 27" scale, $1,500

Agile : mahogany body, neck thru 5 piece maple/ walnut neck, 28.625" scale, $650 - $700?

how do you know what the Agile will be like? it hasn't even been made yet
