The Agile Intrepid 828. Not really a traditional blues guitar, but not necessarily a tool that should be overlooked for all musicians.

I have owned this guitar for about 1 month now. I have owned a few 7 strings and neither I really liked. The biggest downfall for any 7 or multi string guitar is having a floyd rose, double locking trem system. It can be hard to keep stable with 6, but add another or even two more strings and little changes can throw your whole tunic way out of whack. Purchasing a 7 string guitar was not on my agenda until I heard someone on you tube with an 8 string playing jazz. (Youtube since deleted)

After ordering this guitar from Rondo Music, the guitar arrived in a timely manner, appropriately packed and ready to go! An initial tuning and look at the neck, revealed a guitar set up great right out of the box. Frets were even, no sharp edges, nicely put together. Considering this guitar is of unknown origin, this guitar looks as good as something taken from a local guitar shop wall. Rumor has it that these bad boys are made in the same factory that makes Schecter guitars, but that may not necessarily be 100% true.

One should note that this is a baritone scale guitar, which makes switching from regular guitar to this thing awkward at times. Visiting youtube searching for this guitar gives you many low chunka chunka's and shredders. I decided that I would put up a video to play the extended scale instead of just the low end of the guitar

More review tomorrow!
