Why the sudden interest in 8's, Joel?  I thought you said you tried one and weren't gonna be interested in one for a while. Not sure really, just started seeming like a much more interesting option. I'm still tossing up getting an acoustic before I get an 8 and/or a new amp, or maybe a 7, but I'm relatively happy with my current setup and thought I might as well go with an 8 instead of getting a 7 or a baritone 6. I'm fairly certain I'll get an Agile 8 in the next 6 months or so if I can get the funds. Dude, Was playing guitars in Billy Hyde (Aussie GC) only lefty in the store was a Schecter C-7 Standard, decent but has bolt on. The hellraisers with set neck would be much better imo. One thing though, Don't ever get a Schecter 8 string. Mucked around on a right handed version and the low F# was flabby as f**k. The Agiles with a longer scale will be much better.

Ah, lame. Could've just been the setup on the model you were playing though. I really like the Blackjack ATX C-8, although I could get an Agile with near identical specs for like 400 less, so that seems like the best option.

I wish they had this identical model w/a body thru neck: http://www.rondomusic.com/product3217.html

Btw, do you know any good guitar retailers in Sydney? We're going there soon so I might check one or two out.

Wasn't the setup, was bad on the Blackjack ATX, Hellraiser and Daimiens.

I personally don't know of any good dealers. Send a PM to Tim (Greeny23 on UG) cause he lives in sydney. Tell him your a friend of mine, he sould be able to help

As for Agiles, I'd opt for the higher end models, they have hipshot bridges.

I've got the Damien Elite 8, and I like it enough to overlook the floppy F# (which I actually drop to E now).

I could do without the neck pup, although I don't know if I could live without the tone control. I use both pickups like 90% of the time, although I have no idea how it'd really react on an 8.

I actually love this model's colour, although I'd rather lose out on the colour than trade off the neck.

Damn it. Thats the only decent finish on a lefty with a hipshot bridge

nice :)

The Schecter finishes look good but the scale bugs me a lot. Really want my Hellraiser to sell so I have funds.

The bloodburst one is delish, although I think I like all of the Agile's in more natural colours so far. The very first one on the page for 8's has THE most offputting colour.

Ocean Burst is yuck, Lizard burst looks a bit crazy but much nicer imo.

OMG Joel, if you can find one, go to curry chongs. Was sooooo good for lunch today

Ooh, I've been trying to find some Time of Orchids on CD/Download but I can't find any albums anywhere.  :(
