Agile Pro 25 or 27???

ballr4lyf · 05-15-2008, 08:48 PM

I'm looking to get my first 7 soon, and I'm pretty much sold on the Agile Interceptor Pro. I'm just not too sure about the 25.5" scale vs. the 27" scale. Can somebody help me out?

What are the pros and cons of both?

i perfer the 27"
but i got bigger hands than most
either way u cant loose

Also the 27" longer scale lenth holds lower tunings better (ur low B)

After years playing Schecters, I found my Interceptor 25 a lot easier to play, but dunno, each one has is own mojo...

Get one of each!

27" Pros: Lower strings have more punch, harmonically more explosive, more room in the upper frets.
27" Cons: Greater stretches in the lower registers, colder midrange.

25.5" Pros: Higher strings less piercing, warmer response, wide fingerings easier.
25.5" Cons: Flubbier low end, more cramped on the upper frets.

Well, depends what type of guitar you play now. Going up from a 26.5 wouldn't be much of a gap (schecter "baritone" scale), going down may suck depending on who you are.

Where as, if you play 25.5s you would feel no massive difference, with the exception of the extra string.

Question is, do you like the guitar you have now, and what would you change about it?

I really like the 26.5" feel, especially with a low B.

Yea honestly, I really wonder what the differences are between the two, especially in sound. Hey Shannon, we wont mind if you share the PM, unless you were sending nekkid pics of yourself
