- Agile Chiral Nirvana 82528 RL MOD SS Flat Black Headless Guitar Advanced Order (12-8)
Eight Strings, Multiscale Versatility, and Modern Headless Performance! The Agile Chiral Nirvana 82528 RL MOD SS Flat Black is a premium 8-string headless electric guitar designed for musicians seeking extended low-register capability, articulate Fishman Fluence tone, and excellent playability.
Featuring a 25.5"–28.625" multiscale design, dual Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups, 24 stainless steel frets, a Richlite fretboard, and a three-piece wenge/maple bolt-on neck, the Nirvana 82528 delivers a sophisticated combination of modern features.
The updated V3.7 design includes a notched heel for improved upper-fret access, two push-pull controls providing three Fishman pickup sounds, upgraded heavy-duty string locks, and refined body contours that help protect the headless tuning hardware.
The Agile Nirvana 82528 features an advanced fanned-fret design with a 25.5" scale on the treble side and a 28.625" scale on the bass side.
The longer bass-string scale provides additional tension and improved note definition for lower tunings, while the shorter treble-string scale retains a familiar playing feel for leads, chords, and bending.
This combination makes the Nirvana 82528 particularly attractive to players exploring progressive metal, djent, modern rock, and experimental extended-range music.
The eight-string configuration expands the guitar's musical range beyond traditional six- and seven-string instruments.
Players can explore deeper rhythm parts, extended chord voicings, complex harmonies, and new arrangements while retaining familiar electric guitar techniques.
Combined with the multiscale layout, the Nirvana 82528 offers extended low-register performance without requiring a uniformly long scale across every string.
The Nirvana 82528 features dual Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, pairing an Alnico neck pickup with a Ceramic bridge pickup.
These pickups provide powerful, articulate tones for modern metal, progressive rock, and demanding extended-range playing.
The V3.7 electronics offer three selectable pickup sounds through two push-pull controls:
The push-pull volume control selects the alternate pickup voice, while the push-pull tone control provides the additional coil-tap-style option. A three-way selector switches between bridge, combined, and neck pickup configurations.
The V3.7 revision introduces several improvements to the Agile Chiral Nirvana platform:
The understated fretboard appearance complements the guitar's streamlined headless design and Flat Black finish.
Richlite is a durable engineered composite material known for dimensional stability and consistent playing characteristics under changing environmental conditions.
The Nirvana 82528 includes 24 stainless steel frets, offering exceptional wear resistance and smooth playing characteristics.
Stainless steel is an excellent choice for demanding technical playing, frequent practice, and extended recording or performance use.
The V3.7 notched heel provides additional clearance for the fretting hand when accessing the highest frets.
The three-piece wenge/maple neck provides stable multi-piece construction for this extended-range instrument.
The bolt-on neck joint combines with the V3.7 notched heel to provide improved access to the upper register.
An adjustable truss rod allows neck relief to be fine-tuned for different tunings, string gauges, and playing preferences.
The Nirvana 82528 features a lightweight, double-cutaway swamp ash body with a burl ash top and contoured back for playing comfort.
The Flat Black finish gives the guitar an understated, modern appearance that complements the clean fretboard and streamlined headless construction.
Measuring approximately 34" overall, including the strap button, the Nirvana 82528 provides a 28.625" maximum scale in a compact instrument.
The headless construction eliminates a conventional headstock and places the tuning hardware at the bridge end.
The V3.7 design incorporates upgraded string locks with stainless steel screws on the larger strings, along with refined lower-body shaping that helps protect the tuners during handling and performance.
The Nirvana 82528 combines the musical advantages of eight strings with the improved low-register response of a 25.5"–28.625" multiscale layout.
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups provide versatile active tones, while 24 stainless steel frets, an ultra-stable Richlite fretboard, and a three-piece bolt-on neck deliver premium construction features.
The clean fretboard without DOT inlays and the Flat Black finish create a streamlined, understated appearance.
Updated V3.7 features further improve upper-fret access, hardware durability, and headless tuner protection.
Extended-Range Performance Without Compromise! Whether exploring progressive metal, djent, modern rock, or experimental music, the Agile Chiral Nirvana 82528 RL MOD SS Flat Black offers powerful tone, multiscale versatility, and modern headless ergonomics.
The updated Nirvana V3.7 electronics use two push-pull controls for three available pickup sounds.
