Vigier Excalibur Special HSH

Guitar handmade in France. 6 months waiting for a custom ordered guitar.
The bridge Vigier is a real treat! Flexible, he knows perfectly recreate the sensation of our right hand. Given the agreement is perfect even with worn cords.
There are a very versatile and comfortable to handle wish. It is between a handle and a strat neck Ibanez. The action is just so impressive it is low without a large frieze is meant in the amp.
The pickups are DiMarzio: Paf Pro, FS1 and Tone Zone in the bridge, a real treat, and go anywhere.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a real highway but also very comfortable for a softer game.
Access to acute is easy, but is less clear that Ibanez RG721 lmodèle I use but it's really not annoying at all.
The guitar weighs a normal weight can be easily 3/4 hours of standing again it does not hinder!
The sound, even guitar vacuum is great!

SOUNDS

Microphones accept all styles! From rock to metal to jazz until nothing scares him!
On a tube amp like Laney, Fender, Marshall or Ibanez, the alarm guitar amp and gives it a new lease of life and a particular grain.
I used both with 2 Laney tube for concerts and repeat that small transistors for courses, it goes everywhere!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 4 years this is my main guitar. The handle is aging as it should, the feel of the maple is also much more fun in the palm of your hand.
Before moving on Vigier, I tried Ibanez, Fender, MusicMan, Jackson but without much favorite, except for Ibanez or older models of Fender.

The +: Ropes blocks are extras, change superstrings fast, keeping perfect agreement.
The guitar arrives set with onions, even at the microphones, I did not have to do anything in setting.
Having a handle 90/10 is great, no more fear when there is a change in temperature.
Floyd Vigier is great, it gives me one of the best floyd on the market.

The - not being able to have others at home

Pricewise, I could buy it when I worked in the music store so for once it's unbeatable. But a guitar like that for 2800 euros I think making the effort to release them knowing all the happiness it brings. This is a guitar that can keep the screw so the price is not a problem.

I will not go into the config. Everything exudes quality on this guitar, we are at a big brand custom shop, with details vigier bonus (carbon reinforced handle, large blocking attachments, effective tremolo etc). The wood and varnish are superb. High class.
Mine is recent, with mechanical maous the bridge with tremolo and 3 DiMarzio.

UTILIZATION

Level use, I put 10 because really there is nothing wrong: easy handle, light guitar, easy access to acute. Mechanical and no complaints.

SOUNDS

Here I must say that I have not Kiffe the tone zone. I wanted a versatile guitar and with the TZ are vintage and brought me in a little too metal for my taste. As I did not want to part with this guitar for its qualities as seen heads also, I replaced the TZ by Suhr SSH +, and there is another level his guitar, a killer. We keep a big potato with a lot more harmonics, treble and rich bcp boot without this excess of medium tone zone. Sound and sustain that many are pale lespaul. Cleans and high quality also reminiscent of the bcp in strats neck pickup splité.
So with the micro chgt I put 10.

OVERALL OPINION

uses this guitar for a year. I play everything (until hard) and it might go in the metal without worrying if I was playing. I have a telecaster, I had sg, of the 335 but last year I play almost exclusively on this one. I had the chance to buy new € 1500 f closing the store vigier distributor in my area and I think secondhand around € 1300 this is a bargain.

Vigier Excalibur guitar made in France, made in France, 24 frets, Dimarzio pickups, volume and tone control, 5-way switch,
stainless steel frets.
Tremolo on bearings.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, the interface is good, access to the treble is good.
I get easily a good sound.
Good guitar, easy to play.

SOUNDS

It is suitable for many styles of music, however, requires well with him, it's not really a guitar to plug directly into an amp as you can do with a good Gibson, you have to work the sound.
I would say its average.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had nearly two years.
I tried other models, and I chose this one for its design moderninté.

What I like the most is its modernity.

The value for money is good, no more,

I regret that this guitar is poor mounting the electronic selector médiorité who took the game right away, it took quite quickly put his nose in to restore order.

Shame to see such weaknesses on a guitar of this price.

I'm not sure I would do this choice is not without faults, so I had to buy a new guitar, it is not certain that I would take again a Vigier.

I financed this guitar selling my Gibson Les Paul and to be honest, I regret a little.

3 microphones di marzios
Vigier vibrato, floating

UTILIZATION

Fantastic round action that allows very low
A little heavier than my squier strat

SOUNDS

Played with a mesa mark iv ...
This is my best guitar (j.en already had 12 ...)
In terms of sound, I would say Mike Stern, guthrie Govan, Joe Satriani, earth wind and fire (bulk)
Harmonics fuse with the bridge pickup ...
Evidememnt, it can not concurencer my other Arch tops for his bebop, but it s comes out very well .... even qd
I remember that, that is exceptional dynamics and precision of sound ....

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 months ...
It is worth every penny, unlike most americaines .... Basically you just bought the best guitar possible, and not the dream
It is a tool for professional excellernt and not a guitar "fan"
And the best for last: it is more beautiful ....
