Well... looks like I'm going to be a Rondo guitar owner again! I had a Hadean tele before and an Agile 7 string LP that I had return. Ordered an AGILE GEODESIC 62527 to try out a headless and fan fret at the same time. It is 27-25.5". Let's see how it goes.

And now, the waiting game.

I would agree. There's certainly part of the AGF community that has always been more traditional and not as warm to the multi-string/multi-scale offerings, but they have a very strong following in other forums and there are plenty of folks here who have them. @Narsh has made some pretty impressive noise with several offerings, but then again he could make a 2x4 with some strings attached sound amazing.

Looking forward to your review as we don't see many here - you can be the new SME

Yeah, please let us know what its like to play. I've always been curious, but have never played one, nor been brave enough to jump in a buy one...

Definitely Curious as well. I've been "tempted" several times but I haven't really ever had an Agile that I bonded with. Great guitars just never "felt" right for me.
My Boden OS7 was amazing as well and I ended up selling it, but I digress.

Definitely looking forward to your honest opinion.
