HEVYDEVY FORUMS

I figured I'd post this here because I A) was bored and B) figured it's worth letting other people see.



Agile Custom TC
Body Alder, Neck 3 pc Maple
27" scale Baritone 7 string
Ebony Fretboard
EMG 707 pickups.

This was loosely based off of Stephen Carpenter of the Deftones who has 2 custom Tele's one in White and one in Black. the Black one is in production overseas but not for North America.
This was a custom order through http://www.rondomusic.com/ and was very affordable compared to the 5-6,000 I'd have to pay for an ESP custom

That looks fucking awesome dude!

Around how much was it really, if you dont mind me asking? I'd kind of like to look into getting a custom made...

Came out to about 1000. That was the deal maker for me. I've heard of some customs going for less with him. Only thing that sucks is I think they just stopped taking orders today, Kurt at Rondo usually opens up the custom order form every 6 months or so.

I'm really happy with this I have it in Dev tuning right now

Fun tuning to mess around with that my friend showed me

CEADGBE

Tune the low B up a half step to C. Awesome stuff was written in that tuning.

dunno if I'm down with Tuning up, but once I tried the epic Double E on the low side and it was awesome.

It was an Ibanez S520EX. Keep in mind I live in a silly country. I'd forgotten about rondomusic, and checked out how ridiculously cheap the Agile Interceptor 7-string 27" are... I guess you'd highly recommend buying from the site?

Try F#, that way you play octaves instead of powerchords, and if you down tune everything another half step you can rock some Meshuggah!

Yeah i didn't have a problem with rondo, any questions I had they responded pretty fast. So yeah I'd recommend them

That is a beautiful guitar....I have a Koa tele, 6-string. LOVE it.

thanks, that sounds awesome, can you post some pics?

That. Guitar. Is. Sexy.
