    A good modern stratode!

    Vigier Excalibur Custom HSHPublished on 01/20/14 at 12:55

    This guitar is Française and the fire be. The model I use is the custom with 2 doubles and 1 single, floyd vibrato with ball bearings (ah, what idegniale!) For added stability 1 volume and 1 Tone slecteur 5 positions, handle 24 Maple boxes, in short, that's classic.

    USE

    This handle is a marvel, both in the comfort of the ease of play and the guitar is very pleasant to play even when I'm on stage 6:00 !!!
    With Seymour Duncan custom, the sound is certainly typ rock, but usable in other situations because the Tone knob is effective, for example, to have a sound Jazz.

    SONORITS

    V I play in a dance band, I am obliged to play all kinds of music (even if I completely diffrente one second guitar), and it fits perfectly.
    I play through a Pod 2 and basta has rolled live sound system. Big sound assured.
    I love everything about this guitar so I could not be 100% objective.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I think it'll be 10 years that I'm using as a main guitar and share the year and a change refrettage Last selector and volume knob, RAS From all good, j'vous say ...
    After having all kinds of guitars, Fender Gibson through Ibanez Charvel and I found the "pole" Idale and well worth all amricaines and other above-cit es.
    Clearly I redid this choice because I have another one, but this time it fretless (great art, for that matter) and that if I do not fall for a Parker (ah, the gret and sound!), I rachterais one, the same (custom), with a combination of microphones diffrente type 2 singles and 1 double, and just for fun ...

    Update of the 1/20/2014: I just dplac this review of the right model, I always have and probably never sparerais me, my aa t Premi re guitar REALLY "Pro", it will be 20 years old and is still doing very well despite his great age;-)!

    Exceptional instrument

    Black diamond model, maple neck without key reported. MSM seymour duncan.

    UTILIZATION

    The playability is perfect. The handle is a highway.

    SOUNDS

    So this is the point at which I write this opinion.
    When I read instrument "dead" or "cold, frozen, frigid" then I twisted rolls floor laughing. Frankly, if you want the sound of a gold top 57 and you buy a bin excalibur you make me laugh :)
    If you wait until the plow moves in the same age that is missed because the wood is treated with professionalism rare. So it sounds perfectly on the first day and it lasts, it lasts, it lasts, like sustain this shovel in its class with floyd.

    I like the sound of my exca for what it is in the same way that I love the sound of my les paul or my strat in other genres.
    I plug a NOS CA100 and it's very good to play jazz, funk metal of his sound with it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Thank you Vigier.
    The +: the desire and the pleasure of playing this instrument generated. Its accuracy, its texture and its stability over time.
    The -: my other shovels curse.
    The concept of multi-skyscraper does not exist, it is to be a musician.
    Musically.

    The model I bought is displayed at the bottom of the webpage: light sapphire, rosewood fingerboard.

    UTILIZATION

    Comfort of the handle: it is of course a very personal opinion. Do not support maple necks, for example, I was completely unable to play on the first Excalibur that the vendor had proposed.
    The handle is quite round (compared to an Ibanez for example). The frets are fairly thin and not very high, so that the rope plating one is easily in contact with the key (token of speed). The feeling on the neck is quite similar to the one I have on my Ovation Elite.
    I do not have very big hands (span 22 cm), but access to acute poses no particular problem.
    The action is very low. The site says Vigier 1.5 mm at the 12th fret for the high strings, in reality it is more than half, probably not far from Shawn Lane model specifications. Yet it does not frieze, regardless of the box and the rope. Despite this, make rest from easy. Slapper and is particularly easy (NB I do not use a pick).
    Compared to my Ibanez, yet the handle flat and fast, the Excalibur has nothing to do. Whatever you try to make the effort to provide muscle is virtually zero. Nothing to do either with the Charvel and other Bédarieux Lag I've tried (see 3. And 4. For more details on this point).
    I stress again that this is highly dependent on the model, since the first that I had been trying, I was extremely uncomfortable. One way to find out what works for you anyway: try the instrument!

    Comfort (others): the guitar is light enough - much more than my Ibanez S4570 Prestige, which must weigh in 3.5 pounds - well balanced.
    Selector positions microphones and volume controls and tone controls are well placed, the rod of vibrato is great at hand.

    SOUNDS

    When I bought this guitar, I also tried many other models. This is the one I tried last, and there was no hesitation, all the others were soundly defeated.

    The two knobs - volume and tone - allow a real sound setting. This applies to the clear sound at its full.

    In his clear, simple on the micro or intermediate positions 2 and 4, we get easily slamming attacks with acute very present, but it is also easy to soften a little by turning the knob. You can do the Dire Straits like Scott Henderson with no problems.

    In full, the sustain is incredible, even when the tone knob is a 10% or 20%. The holding of the sound is even more spectacular than the strings are mounted extremely low. The pickups do not "spit" it (what my Ibanez prestige tends to do), even when the highs are in the bottom. The sound is extremely clear. The downside is that with a report of this quality, we must learn to play a little cleaner because all means!

    The quality of the vibrato is probably also responsible for some of the sustain. Is this the mount bearings instead of the conventional system with knives? Anyway, between turns of rope (5 weeks), I did not once to adjust the fine-tuning knobs.
    Do a simple test on your guitar: the harmonic at the 5th fret of the G string. you pinch, it makes you a floor two octaves. Acting only on the vibrato on a slow tempo, you get the note and back: sol-fa-re-mi-do-ré_mi-FG.
    On my Ibanez prestige, I go down to D (1), and then nothing: a vibrato while cushioning. The Excalibur allows me to complete the descent and ascent, and the note is still going on. This is probably the combination of the qualities of micro and vibrato that makes this place.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I got my Ibanez Prestige for 10 years and was the only guitar that I played for its versatility and pleasure. For two months, I do not play on the Excalibur.

    Before buying this guitar, I tried: another Excalibur, maple fingerboard, which infuriated me, then a Lag Arkane 1000 (Asia so), then a Charvel that I am unfortunately unable to remember the name model, a Lag Arkane 3000 (Bédarieux model) and finally the Excalibur rosewood handle that I decided to buy right away.

    Acquire Charvel soon became out of the question for two reasons: the lack of tone knob, and maple fingerboard, I definitely can not bear (too rough).

    I could hesitate between the Excalibur and Lag if I'd stayed in the first exca model I tried. The 1000 Arkane me more because of the versatility (it is mounted also Seymour Duncan HSH, so it's probably not a coincidence) that can clean sounds, like the Excalibur, spend smooth to slamming and can play hard as the country. But I found the handle of the 1000 uncomfortable.
    Having been a big frustration on the Charvel, I pressed on Lag model Bédarieux. And there, huge disappointment. Of course it's an absolutely beautiful piece of violin making, with quality wood and superb finish. But that's not enough: I found that spending to handle double Di Marzio Di Marzio double bridge had virtually no effect on the sound, any more than playing on the tone knob. I quickly ended up not knowing what to play, which is usually a bad sign when trying an instrument.

    When I asked the seller a guitar model mounted Seymour Duncan, he brought me the Excalibur Custom with rosewood handle on which I felt immediately at ease, and there I could not stop play: the ideas were their own, the notes also. Again, it's zero effort, the notes come out alone.
    The only trick with such an instrument is that it can easily be convinced that is a good guitarist ...

    And 1600 euros (used of course), when I paid my Ibanez 4000 guilders in the Netherlands (2000 euros at the time), there was frankly no hesitation.
    This choice I would do without any problems.

    French Guitar, mine was a custom blue.
    24 cases, two singles, a double ball bearing floyd bridge, maple neck with a head piece to match the body color, a tone volume selector 5 positions. Simple but effective

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!!
    It is a piece of maple, but not too flat, the frets are fine: it is a highway!
    The grip is comfortable, good access to acute, however, the lack of muzzle to the right forearm is embarrassing. For the rest nothing wrong.

    SOUNDS

    The TB-5 in the bridge gives a rock carved in the midrange, with a good level of output, it works well for metal, both are simple to ssl-5 in Duncan, the sounds are thin, with delicate mention for the ssl-5 in his neck which reminds that of a Start neck pickup.
    Too bad there is no split in the double, it would have expanded the sonic palette.
    Still, all the sounds are excellent and a push pull that is easily installed.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I put 9.5 for perfection does not exist. Otherwise it's all good with two strengths: sounds great Quait (the violin is also something) and a handle ultra quick and easy to play.
    Bought 2 years ago I sold it recently for heart against financial worries, but as soon as I can see a similar good price I bought.
    Again this kind of scratching is a candle to Ibanez Jackson Esp or other US

    in fact, it has agreed to all this guitar and this is only for I have no other electrical

    I do a little of all kinds, at least I 'and any attempt to objectify one can feel very al ease of n' with this matter which sound Vigier.
    (Even if sometimes it m 'draws to Fly, but that is because I give him all my beautiful)
    I will not m 'taler on her that she produced a scratch, as' try and hear it that we want to hear, but she knows how to DSIR!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Ben is my Excalibur, I have 5 years from then, never a problem, don 't want to but I did not find a default ... AH if one can be, it does not look drink and dailleurs has would be very convenient for me because when I play it, I 'forget up to swallow my saliva! feedback, I have coughing fits when I loose!
    It costs 50 EUROBALL not, I know ... but this guitar is an investment not default!

    I would do if this choice? She weighs the weight I have lost for me to buy it ... then in your opinion?

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used since ending for ten years, she sleeps a little bit right now, but it's really my guitar!
    Stroke of luck for the purchase, since otherwise it would have t expensive.
    I left a PERIOD Start, and even if the sound of stratum I missed the beginners,
    I quickly prfr the handle of the Vigier and capabilities of these microphones.
    quality price ratio: a is the dtour.
    With exprience, I realize that I was lucky, since I bought it without really knowing
    I made a case (the era, j'tais young!).
    But the ratio quality price is more than justified.

    There is no "sound" Vigier Excalibur, then there is a "sound" Fender Stratocaster.

    SOUNDS

    Rather intended to crunch sounds.
    Clean sounds unoriginal, and not enough fish for the metal (perhaps by equipping it with EMG ...)

    I just bought it mainly for me because I wanted to diversify a handle for a quick game.
    As mentioned above this is his main interest, equipped with a Floyd Rose tremolo foolproof, it allows every whim.
    Too bad the sound does not follow as well, you really have to put a good amp simulation with the big potato and some good effects (like me when you come back in a console) so that it spits out a correct sound, but after that, then play it becomes a treat.
    My personal equipment: a Tonelab SE + a Sansamp GT2 in the loop insertion Tonelab + reverb / delay in the / return on console, then this gives ca ....
    The violin is a wonderful, simple and accurate settings.
    Price a bit high, she deserves better pickups.

    SOUNDS

    The EMG is really bluffant.Pour the metal is a killer, a killer sound! But I also play blues, funk, jazz.Personnellement after comparing the two, I prefer my emg kit a kit DiMarzio but ... after it personnel.Enfin at least on this guitar very versatile (it's not the case on emg nimporte what guitar)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for several months and I regret having pas.Apres try a lag arkane prestige master 2000, RR1, an ESP horizon ... I said it was really the best choix.Maintenant I would do without this choice problem.The only BMOL: It has a cost! with the change in EMG, if you do not have a commercial discount counties in 3100 but it is an investment for a lifetime, see more

    Voil report or nothing

    SOUNDS

    .. And what you would expect from a superstrate mapleneck well made with maple top and floyd humbukers type PAF boosts ^ ^
    Acoustic: precise, brilliant, biting, can be a bit too slammed. necessarily some gaps in the lower, a lot of sustain all the same.
    Branch: it will follow your amp, with the right amp you'll find what you want, blues folk jazz rock metal, no problem with my cotbr />
    If You work daily with acoustic in it can become irritated by his slamming, rather see an exca without top and fixed bridge or rosewood fingerboard.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for 5 years, 2000 new euro
    I love the handle, instead of slamming its excessive size and acoustic bass frets bother me the long, occasionally as his heel. new 2000 is a fair price. With experience, I would opt for a model without a table and rosewood fingerboard. Had they existed at the time, I hesitated between the Shawn Lane sig. and a fixed bridge above, even Bumblefoot sig. I'm looking forward the day when Patrice Vigier Shawn Lane released without a pickguard, fixed bridge and neck-through;)

    Esssayer before I tried some expensive models, and others less, but certainly I have done the job of the year.

The body is shaped somewhat like a Fender Stratocaster but has a little bit sharper points.

    This one comes with a home bucker a single coil and a home bucker in the neck pick up. You get a sweet looking finger flame maple top on top of either in alder or base would or even mahogany body. The neck is generally maple with a Rosewood fretboard and the tone is pretty much a hot rotted Fender Stratocaster town. If you've ever played and Anderson guitar or a sir guitar in this would be the European version of those guitars. This is definitely a boutique guitar the prices represent that.

    UTILIZATION

    These guitars are pretty easy to find a good tone out of. They simply have two humbuckers and one single coil in between the bridge and neck positions. You have a volume control and tone control as well as a Floyd Rose bridge. You get the pick up selector that is s five way pick up selector and locking tuners. It is a recessed Floyd Rose bridge so the action on the neck is going to be quite low and very fast to play on.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is a gorgeous looking guitar with very high quality wood combinations and pickup's match the hot Rodded look. The tone of this guitar is an exceptional one. They are not easy to come by here in the states but there are some dealers that carry them such as rebel guitars out of Mississippi and some of the higher-end boutique guitar dealers on the west coast and the east coast. You can always play these guitars at the annual namm convention in Anaheim California. I was my first introduction to these guitars back in the day.

    This guitar sounds great with a high gain amplifier such as a Marshall or Mesa boogie or anything of that nature. These are the European hot rotted strats so therefore they mix well with a hot rotted super amp. They have a great sounding distortion when you really crank up the volume in some amplifiers and they can have a very good articulate clean tone with a nice clean amplifier.

    OVERALL OPINION

    These guitars are fairly expensive ones to buy. They range anywhere from 2000 up to $4500 depending on the wood combination and what type of quality the top laminate pieces are. So finding one at a decent price for a budget consumer is probably not very likely. However, this is a boutique guitar and is marketed towards the professional guitarists or someone who's been playing the instrument long enough to know exactly what they are looking for. So I recommend this guitar to someone who loves the look nd the feel of these guitars or is tired of the boutique builders in the US.

    One of my favorite Superstrats

    Vigier Excalibur Custom HSHPublished on 06/08/11 at 18:42
    Vigier is a fairly unknown company for whatever reason. I have no clue why these guys aren't more popular, to be honest. They're a small company in France that makes some of the nicest playing superstrats on the market. The Vigier Excalibur Custom is probably their flagship model. It comes with an alder body with a flamed maple top, a special carbon maple neck with NO truss rod, rosewood or maple fretboard with dot inlays, a special ball bearing Floyd Rose tremolo, a pickguard with an HSH configuration, one volume, one tone and a five way switch.

It comes with an alder body with a flamed maple top, a special carbon maple neck with NO truss rod, rosewood or maple fretboard with dot inlays, a special ball bearing Floyd Rose tremolo, a pickguard with an HSH configuration, one volume, one tone and a five way switch.

    UTILIZATION

    These are one of the few guitars out there that use a zero fret system. This makes it so that the open and fretted notes sound the same when played, and it also helps add some consistency to the action and tone. You don't have that issue with the open strings being way higher than the fretted strings like so many other guitars. The other unique feature with this is that there is no truss rod inside this. The maple is mixed with some carbon epoxy or...something. I'm not really sure how it works, but the necks stay DEAD straight no matter how much humidity you come across. The final unique feature is that they add ball bearings to the Floyd Rose. This makes it crazy smooth when doing dive bombs.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar sounds really good. In a way, it's like a typical superstrat because it features standard DiMarzio pickups, but it has its own kinda thing going on. The ToneZone in the bridge gives this guitar an extremely huge sound. You can get some awesome thick rhythm tones going on, and it never thins out. However, it's a bit polarizing, so some people might not like the onslaught of midrange. The middle FS-1 is a pretty cool single coil that has a clean, powerful sound going on. It works nicely with the two humbuckers. Finally, the PAF Pro in the neck gives a clean, clear and punchy neck tone that is just powerful enough to do high gain licks but just mild enough to clean up with a lighter picking attack.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If you ever get a chance to play a Vigier, I highly recommend trying one. This is probably the most common model that they have, so this is the one you want to look for. They go pretty cheap on the used market, so if you find one on eBay, grab it.
