Rondo Agile 30" 8 string custom Interceptor Clean tones

Here's my new Rondo Agile 8 string 30" Scale Interceptor going through a clean tone...showing the difference in tone between the pickup selections and what happens when you roll off the top...you get put into a box of jazz apparently.

I'm going straight through my Toneport UX1 and recording with Quicktime Pro.

Just doin my thing.

Where did you find strings that long? Finding a high E for it wasn't easy, right?

@pearljaime2 There's a guy by the name of Gary Goodman that has a couple companies that help with this. garrygoodman[dot]com/octave4pl­us[dot]com[dot]htm Octave4Plus and Second String Music. Check them out... super awesome people, you can order each string custom length. Super quality too!

Nice playing and clean tone. What gauge is your F# at 30"? .080? Can you tune it to E without getting buzz?

[woocifer]

@EtherealEntity6 I'm not quite sure what the string gauge was because it was what it came with strung. I recently put on some .70s and they've done the trick. Tuning the F# up to an E would probably warp the living hell out of my neck haha I wouldn't want to try it...

dude that sounds good I like hearing 8 strings played clean.

[woocifer]

@BigEthan391 Yeah man it's really full bodied... too bad I don't know how to play anything properly so it sounds even better...hahaha

@woocifer Thanks a bunch.

@woocifer oh yea how has your custom agile interceptor done for you, I noticed that your videos of it was posted a while ago so I was wandering how the guitar has handled in the long run, also what are the specs on yours ?

[myguitarkeepsmesane]

@woocifer I think he means tuning the F# down a whole step to E not up, and yes you can, the band Meshuggah tunes down to E with an 8 string on some songs. Check out their album Obzen to hear what I mean,

[HighVoltagexx]

@woocifer I think he meant down two steps to an E, Tosin Abasi style.

[EtherealEntity6]

@woocifer

Haha thanks :) I actually meant down to drop E - the tuning I plan to use at 30". Wondered what gauge this was because it sounds a lot tighter and better than most I have seen.
