Who has one? Any videos/reviews? Been checking these out for awhile, for when I get a 7 string down the road. If anyone has one, fill me in! :rock:
 
I have an Agile 8 string.i like it.made for metal.low string is a F# .same thickness as a G bass string.kinda overkill.was gonna get a 9 string,but 8 is more than enuff.

Build quality is fine.have it 6 months,no problems.pickups are good.ive ran it thu a Baron snott watt,pv 6505 and line 6 pro.good tones from each.i get good lead sounds.bridge is non trem.stays in tune always.my neck is maple,feels smooth and and fits my hands well.

Id recommend Agile.i think they had some lean years and made people skeptical.but i have no problems and nuthin but good things to say.
 
I have a 7 from their original run with the ebony fretboard and the Blaze pickups, my color was supposed to be violin burst but violin and violet must be close in Korean as it came out as a flamed purple, which actually looks KILLER!

Quality is pretty good, options are nice. Neck is a little "Les Paul" ish as compared to my other ERGs (Ibby, ESP, Washburn & Schecter).

I wouldn't put the $ into their custom order though, for the loot they're charging you can almost get a Carvin.

^agreed,
I have an 8 string Agile and its been a great guitar. I've had zero problems with it. They have gotten a bit pricier as time has gone on so if you're going custom go Carvin. :thumbsup:
 
If you're looking for an affordable seven string, I strongly recommend it. I have a seven string Interceptor Pro. 27 inch scale. Swapped out the pups for a Nazgul/Sentient set.
It's a workhorse of a guitar, and stays in tune just fine. I just think they're asking for a bit too much money for them now. I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you're looking to buy new.
I got mine from a guitar center for about 450.

His total lack of arguments and delirious rants can make him quite entertaining
 
he made sense til he said no guitar companies make good guitars...Gibson, Fender...come on. hahahaha
 
This is the same guy that made a video saying wood type has no effect on tone whatsoever?

:no:

I can't watch his videos and if I happen to I would never listen to his opinions.

Hopefully he is wrong AGAIN :) I have heard many many mixed reviews but i just ordered an Agile 727 Interceptor and will let you all know my impression of them soon hopefully.

Seems like he has alot of gear in the back, you would think he knows a little bit.

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if he is just completely full of shit and making stuff up to get some buzz and the hater veiws on Youtube.

He did even state in that video I mentioned that he likes haters and it helps spread the word.


Editz: I lied to myself and watched the video. I still disagree with alot of what he says but it is funny to watch.

I also noticed he has a website and is a "millionaire"

I watched portions of he free lesson video's and I will give it to him he can actually give pretty good beginner lessons on theory at least.

I havent seen many of them so I am not sure how skilled he is but at leaset he can actually play.
 
lolz.. so.. he bashes Gibson and Fender, but definitelly tells you to get an SX.. way to roll
 
So basically take everything the Skynyrd lookin doosh stated and flip flop it? Kinda how I have to tolerate our Prez.
 
I had a chance to buy three agile guitars off a local guy in need of some cash, he was in a hard place and sold me 3 guitars for $600. An 8, 7 and a 6. They were all Agile brand not the lower steps down. The only reason I bought them was to fix em up and flip them, which I did with a nice profit. I played them initially and right off the first pluck, the stock pickups that people said were decent were far from it, some of the worst stock pickups out there. I swapped the pickups in all three guitars to various high output sets that I found used for cheap. One had a set of invaders, another a set of dactivators and the other had a set of the new EMGs. The 8 string was the nicest of the three as it was the "higher end" but it was still at best a 4/10 and not worth the price tag, the other two were just horrible playing guitars. As we all know, good pickups can make cheap guitars sound alright at times and that was still the case with the Agile guitars but the playability and craftsmanship were sub par. Yes they are what they are, cheap guitars but when you can get Ibanez RGs, Schecters and other guitars for the same dime, I would say buy those instead. When you look at where probably 90% or more of the hype on these guitars is coming from, you can gather it's just that, hype. The hype is coming from 15-20 year old kids that play mostly the two low strings and don't know what a really nice guitar feels like. For those kids I say swap the pickups and rock away but for anyone that knows really nice guitars or someone just looking for something new, I say keep looking.

Hopefully that was thorough enough.
