I suppose this is a bit of a belated NGD as I have had this guitar for about a week now. I am also aware that the Agile name is looked down upon by many people. Trust me, I understand whole-heartily and cannot tell you the amount of times one of these guitars has ended up on one of my work benches with a novel long list of issues. However, on a random stop in a local guitar center I spotted this piece and picked it up semi-jokingly. It was one of those moments where it just felt right. And so far, I haven't regretted it in the slightest.
As I stated before, I've had this for about a week, but didn't want to post anything up until after I installed the new set of Duncans that I ordered (the Nazgul and Sentient).
I'll try to get a little review going at some point; perhaps even a video review. We shall see.
Better quality pictures to follow tomorrow...just snapped something quick so that I could finally post this. :thumbsup:

I used to have the same guitar but with a TOM bridge in black burst. Congrats on nice score, they're really cool 7-string for the price point. I think it got a bad rap actually.
How does it sound with the Nazgul?
 
The playability is solid...at first I thought the neck was a tad bit too thick after playing my 2127z for the last few months. However, I'm actually kind of preferring it over my 2127z...maybe it's the fact that I used a slightly lighter gauge, or the placebo effect that I think I can play faster since the fretboard is ebony. Not sure. However, compared to the Ibanez, which was a nightmare to set up, I haven't had any issues with this guitar as of yet. It just wants to slay things.

As far as the Nazguls go. I really dig them, for metal. Like I said, I literally just got them in yesterday. About a month and a half ago I put the Pegasus into the 2127z. In comparison to that, I feel like the Pegasus has more midrange bite to it and is a bit snappier, where as the Pegasus has that great lower midrange punch. At least, that's how I feel about it. Both are great pick ups. I seriously suggest them to anyone playing a 7 or 8...I think they're some of the best sounding pick ups out there, especially for the price point.
Brody from Rivers of Nihil and Andy from Black Crown Initiate were both playing this last night after I put them in and swore up and down that they were going to be installing the Nazgul as well. Hahaha
