Vigier to release 1st Single Cut Guitar

According to Vigier, this guitar is supposed to deliver the hottest sounds of all the guitars in the brand’s product line. The choice of the single-cut body design is aimed at reflecting a combination of modernism and tradition.

Like all Vigier instruments, the new single-cut guitar features a wood neck reinforced by a carbon-fiber bar that uses the company’s exclusive 10/90 system (10% carbon fiber/90% wood). The guitar is equipped with the new Vigier nut made of Teflon, which reduces friction at the nut, where most tuning problems typically occur; on a side note, this Teflon nut will very soon be installed as a standard feature on all Vigier instruments, beginning in January 2009.

This model will feature a solid alder body with a flamed maple top. The bridge and tailpiece are Vigier’s original design and include a unique feature that makes it possible to lock any pieces of the bridge in place once the setup is done, which is said to guarantee an improvement in tone, a greater sustain, as well as better tuning. The new single-cut model is equipped with a pair of humbuckers, a 5-way pickup selector switch for a variety of sounds, volume and tone controls.

No release date or price was communicated… neither is the definite name for this model.
