- Agile Texan Silverburst Alder 7-String Electric Guitar – Ebony Fretboard, Alnico Single Coils, Locking Tuners Advanced Order (12-15)
Classic T-Style Character with Seven Strings! The Agile Texan Silverburst Alder combines the familiar appearance and traditional single-coil sound of a T-style electric guitar with the expanded musical possibilities of seven strings.
While many seven-string guitars feature aggressive modern styling, high-output humbuckers, and extra-long scale lengths, the Agile Texan takes a different approach. It brings an additional low string to a classic electric guitar design, offering greater musical range without abandoning familiar controls, pickups, and styling.
Premium features include a two-piece solid alder body, ebony fretboard, one-piece maple bolt-on neck, passive Agile Alnico single-coil pickups, chrome Cepheus locking tuners, and a modern seven-saddle string-through-body bridge.
The Agile Texan stands apart from typical extended-range instruments by combining seven strings with traditional T-style construction.
Its recognizable single-cutaway body shape, passive single-coil pickups, and straightforward electronics make it appealing to musicians who enjoy the character of conventional electric guitars but want additional notes below the traditional six-string range.
The seventh string expands the instrument's capabilities for lower rhythm passages, extended chords, melodic arrangements, and experimental compositions.
Unlike many modern seven-string guitars, the Texan is not limited in concept to heavy metal. It can be equally interesting for blues, country-inspired picking, classic rock, jazz-influenced playing, ambient music, and progressive arrangements.
The Agile Texan Silverburst uses a familiar 25.5" scale length, the same scale found on many conventional six-string electric guitars.
This makes the Texan an appealing alternative for guitarists who want seven-string versatility without moving to a much longer baritone or multiscale instrument.
Its conventional straight-fret layout also provides a recognizable playing experience for musicians accustomed to traditional electric guitars.
For very low alternate tunings, appropriate string gauges and setup adjustments may be necessary to maintain comfortable string tension and accurate intonation.
The Texan Silverburst features a two-piece solid alder body, bringing traditional electric guitar construction to its unusual seven-string format.
Alder is a popular tonewood for solid-body electric guitars and has long been associated with versatile instruments used across rock, blues, country, and other musical styles.
The familiar T-style single-cutaway shape is complemented by the striking Silverburst finish, black pickguard, and chrome hardware.
The Texan features a satin polyurethane Silverburst finish, with a light silver center transitioning toward darker outer edges.
The satin finish provides a more subdued appearance than a traditional high-gloss finish while retaining the visual impact of the Silverburst color scheme.
The combination of the Silverburst body, dark ebony fretboard, black pickguard, and chrome hardware gives this Texan a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from more conventional seven-string guitars.
The Agile Texan features a genuine ebony fretboard with traditional black dot position markers.
Ebony is a dense hardwood valued for its smooth playing surface, durability, and premium appearance.
The 15" fretboard radius provides a relatively flat playing surface suitable for chords, bends, and modern techniques.
The dark ebony fretboard creates an attractive contrast with the natural maple neck and Satin Silverburst body.
The Texan uses a one-piece maple neck with bolt-on construction and a comfortable C-shaped profile.
This traditional neck construction complements the classic T-style design while accommodating the additional seventh string.
Players already familiar with bolt-on electric guitars will recognize the design, even though the neck is wider to accommodate seven strings.
The guitar features 22 jumbo frets, providing a familiar playing layout for rhythm, chords, bends, and melodic lead passages.
The jumbo frets provide comfortable contact for fretting and bending techniques, while the traditional 22-fret layout reinforces the Texan's classic electric guitar character.
One of the Texan's most distinctive features is its pair of passive Agile Alnico single-coil pickups.
Most seven-string guitars are equipped with humbuckers designed primarily for heavier playing styles. The Texan instead offers the bright attack and articulate response associated with traditional single-coil electric guitars.
The bridge pickup delivers crisp attack and clarity for rhythm playing, country-inspired picking, and cutting lead sounds.
The neck pickup offers a warmer character suitable for blues, expressive melodies, and clean chord passages.
Combining both pickups provides another useful tonal option.
Because the pickups are passive, they do not require a battery.
The Texan features traditional master volume and tone controls with a three-way pickup selector.
The selector provides bridge pickup, both pickups together, or neck pickup operation.
This familiar control layout makes it easy to shape the instrument's tone without complicated switching or active electronics.
The Texan Silverburst includes chrome Cepheus locking tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio.
Locking tuners hold the strings securely at the tuning posts, reducing the need for multiple string wraps and making string changes more convenient.
The 18:1 tuning ratio permits fine tuning adjustments, providing a useful modern feature on an otherwise traditional T-style instrument.
The Agile Texan features a modern seven-string string-through-body bridge with seven individually adjustable saddles and a chrome-plated steel baseplate.
Each string has its own saddle, allowing individual intonation adjustment across all seven strings.
The fixed bridge preserves the traditional T-style concept while accommodating the guitar's expanded range.
Unlike the Agile Perihelion series, the Texan uses a fixed bridge rather than a tremolo.
The Texan features a graphite nut, providing a low-friction contact surface for the strings.
Graphite helps reduce string binding during tuning and bending, complementing the guitar's Cepheus locking tuners.
Seven-string guitars are frequently associated with heavy metal, but the Agile Texan demonstrates that extended range can serve a much broader selection of musical styles.
The passive Alnico single-coil pickups make this guitar especially interesting for clean rhythm work, blues, country-inspired picking, rock, jazz-influenced chords, and experimental music.
The additional seventh string lets players incorporate deeper notes while retaining the response and familiar controls of a traditional electric guitar.
The Agile Texan combines two ideas rarely found together: traditional T-style design and seven-string extended range.
Its 25.5" scale offers a familiar playing feel, while the additional string expands the available low register.
A two-piece solid alder body, one-piece maple bolt-on neck, ebony fretboard, and 22 jumbo frets provide traditional construction with premium appointments.
Passive Alnico single-coil pickups offer classic electric guitar character, while chrome Cepheus locking tuners and a modern seven-saddle string-through-body bridge add practical performance features.
The Satin Silverburst finish gives the instrument a distinctive appearance without abandoning its traditional styling.
