    The best, I love it

    Vigier Excalibur Original HSHPublished on 05/03/14 at 14:01

    The color is blue with Urban key in rosewood. Floyd is licensed Vigier ball bearing, and handle a / their famous system 90 10. HSH configuration, this technique are Seymour Duncan I think.

    UTILIZATION

    The best round I know, thanks to carbon, it never moves despite large variations in the Canadian climate! This is probably the handle that makes the guitar is so great (see notice of Bumblefoot).
    The balance of the guitar is really excellent in the game standing and ergonomics also. The sound is excellent unplugged thanks to the quality of the violin. For the rest, it is a matter of taste for microphones. The original ones are very versatile for my taste and are well suited to dif…

    UTILIZATION

    The best round I know, thanks to carbon, it never moves despite large variations in the Canadian climate! This is probably the handle that makes the guitar is so great (see notice of Bumblefoot).
    The balance of the guitar is really excellent in the game standing and ergonomics also. The sound is excellent unplugged thanks to the quality of the violin. For the rest, it is a matter of taste for microphones. The original ones are very versatile for my taste and are well suited to different styles I play (Big rock, blues, funk, etc..) Like the original split simple microphones, especially in the middle position clean.

    SOUNDS

    See above. With my old band, I plugged it directly into the Boss GT-10 and it was very good. I also had a Mesa Boogie Express 5:25, a very good supplement for versatility.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 15 years and this is my second guitar, the first being a Mexican Telecaster that I do not like (bad ergonomics corp and the handle, it really is a skyscraper which dates from the '50s ...) but I always have.
    All other guitars I've tried, it is by far the best for all its qualities. I would do this choice with his eyes closed so I had fun over the years with this guitar!

    The superstrate made in France

    Vigier Excalibur Original HSHPublished on 12/26/12 at 10:47
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Homemade French (at least at the time). Moreover, in 92 there were only two models rested: the original and custom (with a table and finish most successful)

    The rest of the features are rather well known legendary handle 90/10, maple fingerboard, alder body "artificially aged" set MSM Saymour Duncan, vibrato Khaller amended by Vigier, split microphones on intermediate positions ....

    UTILIZATION

    It is an instrument that is in my opinion a reference in terms of ergonomics and comfort.
    This applies to the handle but for everything else, except perhaps for the volume knob which is placed a little too high for my taste and requires a little time to adapt.

    UTILIZATION

    It is an instrument that is in my opinion a reference in terms of ergonomics and comfort.
    This applies to the handle but for everything else, except perhaps for the volume knob which is placed a little too high for my taste and requires a little time to adapt.
    I also loved the "small changes" made by Vigier such as the principle of "coin 5F" replacing Allen key for changing strings at both the nut as vibrato, or the fact we can keep the ball on the strings.
    Casually, this is probably the guitar "floyd" the best thought of the time.
    I would add that it is also an instrument almost impossible to tune, even if you force the vibrato on a sustained and very little gallantry.

    SOUNDS

    We are in the presence of a pure product of the 90's designed for a fairly neutral sound should work upstream on the amplification chain. Remember it was the heyday of racks of all kinds, and the hack sound velocity manly ;).
    In this register the Excalibur excels. on the other hand therefore we would like to make more of its roots (read two pedals and a small tube amp) is less obvious to find his account.
    Indeed it is a superstrate, the guitar "go anywhere" and the character was sacrificed on the altar of versatility. A little too much for my taste.
    At the same time I think it is set Saymour sth and that may be a change of pickups could bring little more missing.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Bought in '92, played a lot of 92 to '02, sold there qq days.
    This is my first guitar "pro" and I confess that I find it difficult to criticize so she gave me sensations.
    Regarding the value, I would say that is huge for this item. In 20 years it happened once in the luthier for setting and yet is because I was too lazy to adjust the floyd myself.
    For the rest it was a lot of concerts, recordings and repets, qq travel with variations of temperature and humidity fairly consistent, never ask concern. For the time 5600FF represents approximately 1.1 minimum wage I would say it is even quite exceptional. I do not know the recent copies, however I find that they are much more expensive (> 2x the minimum wage) and for that price you can find other guitars "luthier" that was not the case in the time.
    In any case I hope that "my" copy will delight its acquirer because it is an instrument that begs to be utlise and it makes it really good.

    UTILIZATION

    handle very nice, beautiful wood screws without setting but we need not reach the ropes to very low without breaking the head to adjust the handle
    it is very thin and lightness
    yes the access to acute is easy they would defo one of the round on the body where there is the screw that holds the handle

    SOUNDS

    With this guitar you can do everything Hard rock Heavy, thrash, jazz etc. .. the sound is also good with or without distortion not like some good guitars which are one or the other

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is perfect all styles of music. If a wrong, it may be more in the fingers as a shit ...
    I use it to make the funk, rock and even jazz and everything passes impeccable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 7 years now, I had changed against a Gibson Les Paul studio (hi, hi, hi).
    I am not ready to Sparer me so I like it

    To form a lot of people find it ugly for trs is beautiful, but it is a matter of good taste.
    For sound you could not be easier and you branch jou.

    SOUNDS

    With my current setup I'm too happy with my investment because for me the silent seymour good micro to all styles of funk and reggae pop ... and also for the mtal but I'm missing something for this style as a fan because the undisputed Metallica I wanted to put the same microphone that Mr Hammet, the central I wish the sound of Mr Gilmour and Mr Hetfield handle.

    I am currently on a jou Fender performer 160 starts make me, so do not LSES means and the usefulness of a lamp I offered secondhand u Marshall Valvestate Pro 120/120 BUT I have no speaker did not know commentscela rings for multi purpose I use a BOSS GT 3.

    e torque multi purpose microphone imprssionnant, I just play all (well I try).

    All sounds excellent light to all the microphones I use saturated danstoutes the configutations because I jou of all styles.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for 8 years ending for, jai fell in love with this guitar because it is Franaise and all the technical and rvolutionnaire (round 90/10, 0 fret vibrato, etc. .. .).
    The day I bought it I went Pigalle with a friend and we tried all we could guiatres because for the price I did not make a mistake (as javais do with my Ibanez) . We tried guitars etg 150 5000 euros to the price quality ratio there is no photo.
    If I had to do this except a few choices hsitation e ^ be the price I bought it 8800 francs in 1997 or about 1340 euros given the current price onreflechi 2 times.
    But happiness is priceless and pe, hsit ing time I take a 2nd team just EMG.

    In seven years I had two small problem:

    The mid-bass had an unfortunate tendency to dtendre, but my dealer was involved (changing the position of the saddle) and now everything is nickel.

    The Pink Floyd special vigier system with a ball is how to say ..... Incredibly, though I beat a dead horse over the tuning is not moving.
    The only slight snag is that the volume control gene a bit, but perfection is not good ... though ...

    UTILIZATION

    Well everything has already been said on the handle ... a marvel.
    Access to acute poses no problem, although a little practice for the operation of the 24th box is required.
    Start simple, though the form is used, the colors are really class offers Vigier (mine is wood finish with a mirror plate type). The weight is gone, you can play sitting on his bed without having to readjust the whole 5 minutes (not like my Lag Roxanne).
    When the sound ... see below!

    SOUNDS

    I play mainly symphonic metal, rock and blues, I also have a lag and roxanne jackson roswell ... Vigier offers more than the two together (well ptetre not as aggressive as the jackson though);
    I played on a marshall and I zoom multi effect (to avoid lol), the bridge pickup has a snapping sound and aggressive in your distortion and sound in its crystal clear, simple micro gives a very funky and the neck pickup very warm sound ideal for blues or his heavy way John Petrucci.
    5-way switch with his palette is more appealing, a new sound every day ^ ^

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a few weeks and I must say that I never tire of exploring the sounds and the potential of this beast.
    To summarize this scratching is a mixture of all you can find the best on the market: Fender Start, Ibanez high end, even ptetre Lag Roxanne and The ... basically if you like blues, funk, grunge or metal non-linkinparkien this guitar will charm you for sure.
    I got it almost new for 1350 euros and I have no doubt that I would do this choice, the wallet has taken a sacred but hey it's a slap Gratt that keeps all his life.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is ergonomically pleasant with a snap point, notament rope at the blocks at the bottom of the handle or on some guitars hanging on one hand there is little nickel ... Access to acute is one of the strong points of this round the heel is super profile cutting is perfect
    The guitar is very light alder, strat-looking but lighter ... The Sustain is truly amazing for a guitar with Floyd .... It's not a PRS, but we approach it ... no problem languorous ballads to Santana or Gary Moore
    The microphones are of different config type (choose when ordering) mine is equipped with Seymour Duncan ...

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is perfect for my use in a cover band pop / rock.
    They are very light it can blow up without the back enchainer sets ... The versatility of this instrument is amazing!
    You want a Start sound and hop are two intermediate positions wouaouh! the way you want heavy or deep purple ACDC there is the bridge you need!! pti zztop hop on a neck pickup and send you a very heavy full of rhythmic harmonic .... Remember The Floyd Vigier a dive bombing, a game pti vibrato as Steve Vai, you release everything and is granted to pTis onions ... It's more simple I give my guitar between songs regardless of the slaps I put him in the head! Is more a dinamyque crazy that makes you want to unleash on your guitar!
    I play in a POD XT Live that perfectly complements the versatility level corny ...
    The only position I do not use the center position is = 2 humbuckers out splitted phases is a little space ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for 2 months
    I like its ease of use, sustain, its light weight, versatility, indestructible side when I play!
    I play for 8 years, I traded this guitar against a PRS ce24 was heavy, a little too "precious" and lacked the clear ..
    This new scratch is very expensive ... we just D'OCCAZ find good deals for the coast isa little lower than on American guitars of similar quality
    I would do without hesitation that choice
