(Originally written by bedrael/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Beautiful guitar made in France.
Alder body, maple neck with carbon truss rod and maple fingerboard. 24 frets, 7 strings.
H-S-H pickup combination with 5-way toggle switch.
UTILIZATION
At first sight the most impressive feature is the neck quality. It feels pleasant and is perfectly adjusted. Access to the 24th fret is not as easy as you might think. The guitar is quite heavy considering it has no mahogany.
SOUNDS
I play mainly heavy metal, prog metal à la Dream Theater and progressive rock à la Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree. The guitar is great for all these music styles. You can use it with every music style thanks to its versatile pickups and the 5-way toggle switch. The overall sound is crystal-clear, round and well-balanced. As a summary, it has an amazing prog rock sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I've owned it for one week. I also have a Musicman Petrucci. The playing feel of both instruments is very different but they have a similar sound. The Vigier is more versatile, it can even sound like a Strat, which is impossible with the Petrucci. As a summary, the Supra 7 is an exceptional instrument with a very good finish quality that justifies its price. I bought it because I wanted a 7-string guitar without a Floyd Rose tremolo. And I'm not disappointed at all. Now my Petrucci is jealous!
