Hello world
I own the mine since 1987, n = 069 and let me make some corrections on CHARACTERISTICS:
bridge actually very clumsy but effective
2 micros double BENEDETTI home
1 volume knob with pull Systm to boost (12 db I think) attack, which has also already a lot of gain, but allows you to saturate more lamps
Tone knob of a conventional
2 knobs that are a parametric equalizer is chosen frquence on one and add or remove up to 12 db with the other
A 3-position pickup selector
1 2 selector positions that splits the pickups in single or double coil
NECK carbon, so no heel ESG to acute
the body is wood, not carbon, in fact they are two wings of each cot glue the handle
there are two jacks without a direct electronic force (if the batteries are broken, for example)
and passing through the active electronics, on the edge

UTILIZATION

For 20 years I have not seen better
the handle is perfect for me (which is for many) it is very enjoyable and very fast and rare it never moves no matter the time
I went to Africa with during the rainy season and the neck of my acoustic spin the vigier nothing!
Access in acute is the most enjoyable of the world because of heel and not always handle it very pleasant

I actually put that 9 because of changes in lengthy strings
by grace against the vibrato can be adjusted or even accuracy.
Careful not to use the batteries too quickly should unplug the jack on the side that dclanche electronics

SOUNDS

So to the sound ... the sound is rather basic but mostly crystalline very clear and defined with good bass very audible, it shows very well the group
and with the electronics were all almost sounds ACCS
I even imitate an electro-acoustic by putting two single coil pickups on and digging mediums

OVERALL OPINION

So I for 20 years in 2007
I love the most is when even the comfort of the handle
but also the sound of fawn simple and sounds of electronics, mechanical tricks such as door and cl Allen
robust, indestructible handle, I have no hum on the knobs from the beginning and had no fault
we can consider all kinds of music
So this is a guitar that does especially well thought out
why it is no longer done??
20 years I tried a few, and I keep it as the unique electrical

See more advice. Comprehensive, see too. Understanding of all the selectors is not obvious. A boost for solos. A split switch, volume, tone, a frequency selector and the attenuation or amp that goes with it. When the frequency selector is switched on it feels like an increase in parasites. The vibrato is very solid in appearance. The fine tuning is at the top of the handle, it is not an example of ergonomics as it takes the strength of the green giant to resolve what is a paradox with the idea of ​​fine tuning. The neck-through carbon is superb, sorry I bave.La button is plastic, not necessarily the class of the wood but not unpleasant. The detail that kills, adjusting keys on the head for fast wiring (with emphasis) Micros Benedetti

UTILIZATION

Uh, Limouzine top. The handle is a bit much at first when you come home ... but Ibanez perfect: fast, comfortable, easy access to so acute that it would take thirty boxes. This guitar is absolutely insensitive to temperature variations which is not the case for all the world (always Ibanez) The vibrato is true to its image, a solid little use. Personal I wish the frets narrower and chouille highest, but it avoids false when you press play on the strings too (recoucou Ibanez) Grosse quality you can leave it six months without touching it, she is waiting for you as the first days to play. I do retunes for change of string, which puts the fault on the fine tunings mentioned above. As against the change of strings, hassle, it takes a half hour mini (but I'm not a violent)

SOUNDS

Surprise, I rather expected a grain bin and LP is rather Strato. I think there is a side slam, also friendly, which sticks to the sound of this guitar. The split pickups is not as such as radical as other guitars. The notes of the chords are always defined, no boiling. The sound of the neck pickup sit above the bridge (the former owner would have made the change it would not surprise me) he has the body of the spectrum while the bridge pickup does a good job but more with less ... chest, which is strange for a bridge. Be careful when I speak even a vigier then no mistake, it's very good. In fact it is superb games clear and good in distortion, but other recent productions may be more comfortable on this terrain it.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a guitar excellently well served by his violin and design. Hats off to Patrick Vigier (fans should be encouraged) to have designed a guitar at the time as innovative and as reliable. A guitar that is always happy to find it. I leave you and I go back
