All user reviews for the 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 ....

Fully guitar factory in France with matrial also exclusively franais.
This is not to make a crow, but simply to locate the quality of the product.
As the demand excalibur are manufactured every MODEL is a little "custom"
here:

24 fret neck / Systm 90/10 (the famous carbon rod)
rosewood fingerboard
Seymour Duncan TB5 (bridge) SH5 (neck) and SSL6
Fixed bridge (apparently the same with 2010 except that the vibrato is fixed)
ruby
mcaniques vigier

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable
Between feeling "highway" and a grip "carnal" (well it's not a Les Paul either!)
Access in an acute ease dconcertante (Notice to shredders ...)
I think perfect ergonomics, weight ridiculously lightweight, well equilibrated trs:
Any good for rpeter and extension sets.
The sound comes out of the skyscraper itself is hyper prcise, crystalline and does not forgive any approximation (such as all the guitars you might say ...) but yes I think this has even more glaring.

SOUNDS

I think this guitar is so versatile as a can almost become a default.
So yes it is suitable to my style Zique (base rock, now dyed noise / hardcore).
But just as I change the slecteur microphones and I fly to other sphres: jazz, pop, atmosphriques, fusion, eastern, and so enigmatic.
on the other hand I would say not all styles because it lacks a certain power skiing (mahogany set neck and a Les Paul for example ...)
but otherwise there is absolutely no default: the sound spectrum is beautiful, the balance always Submitted, rich harmonics.
good even when I put 8 because it could Whereas lack of characters ...
it says warning: there are ways to bourrines STRID - if the receiver follows, making death would not be a problem
but it can also play while composed of shades ranging from reggae to funk (rah casseroles on the simple micro ...) etc etc..
etc. Everything is possible ...
but have the sound of another skyscraper (or type strat paul), which makes little sense in fact ...

OVERALL OPINION

has been 2 years now I have.
I waited before posting because I wondered what I would think in a year or two.
I fix the Definition: it is a magical guitar, which is kept throughout his life.
j'apprcie:

- Its reliability: it does dsaccorde never as reliable as a floyd and more convenient for open tuning.
- The sound: there are ways to do everything we can switch in an instant all possible environments. I have a limit off the urge to buy effects pedals is to say ...
- I tried many before buying MODELS: Les Paul, Start, Tele, ESP, PRS ... none supported the overall comparison: jouabilit in terms of sound, reliability and price ... the good is subjective, but at least I think Vigier has its place among the great of this plant. APRS know which is the best ... intrt no, it's different people.

with exprience, I would do this choice, even today, with Excalibur, if I had to buy another MODEL, I would take a Les Paul Standard ...

The features have already been mentioned.
One piece alder body, flamed maple table.
Maple neck solid carbon rod.
Dimarzio Pickups HSH: PafPro - Fs1 - ToneZone
Floating tremolo with ball bearings.
Mechanical locking.

A beautiful finish, painting beautiful, gorgeous flamed table.
The knobs very flexible course crackles do not: D.

UTILIZATION

The handling is exceptional, the handle is molded into the real hand, the action is ultra low favoring fast games. Brief but happiness to the side.
Access to acute is perfect until the 22nd case, after it a little freestyle but still accessible.

The guitar is very heavy (thank you for us not being 90kilos guitarist).
The sounds and the sound balance is maintained between the microphones and you can get many shades after selection knobs.

Finally, the vibrato is a pleasure to use. More galleries when changing strings, tuning a very very stable, and a margin of frivolity certainly less impressive than a floyd, but well enough.

SOUNDS

The key word is: flexibility and definition, you can do anything with this Vigier, always keeping a clean and well defined.

The selection knob in the middle, and it went to a rhythmic funk.
Neck pickup, a well rounded, warm and powerful, but always accurate.
Side bridge, turn the distortion off and it went to the carpet. A full, rich sound with lots of attack just waiting to roar.

Brief hard, blues, shred through the most insane, you can really do it all thanks to this definition due to the extraordinary accuracy of the settings, the quality of the wood, and excellent microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new a 1950 euros (partner shop vigier), 1 month ago.
No regrets, we like more the guitar, discovering its qualities as you go.

I hesitated with Musicman which are also excellent guitars, but I preferred to trust Vigier for their innovative sleeve and fabulous and versatile sounds.
Basically I wanted an Ultra (Vigier always), but the active electronics was a bit scary and I think what would be less flexible and would not heat and grain dimarzios.

In short, a guitar that will follow me all my life.

CHARACTERISTICS known to all, I pass this point we see them everywhere

UTILIZATION

The neck is a joy, I know what I mean I jou on ibanez rg, Epiphone Les Paul, Fender Start and Tele so I had a lot of rounds in hand,

It is enjoyable trs, Access in acute is really easy.
Ergonomics is tudie, whether the dcoupe the rear, or to prsence mcaniques surdimenssinnes to balance the guitar and provide better sustain.

For audio, there's no secret we must know how to play, as on all guitars but the harmonics out easily.

SOUNDS

This should scratch all styles of music, I play jazz, blues, good rock and some big sound and she did not watch limits.

I play a JCM 2000 TSL 100 version body double.

The neck pickup position offers a well fat crunch, the position intermdiaires a brighter sound, and when one goes into pickup, it's the carrment HIGH GAIN, for large or rhythmic solos c ' is madness.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a month.

I really like everything about the scratches, sound maintenance agreement using the same vibrato non stop.

I jou on excalibur and I knew right away that c'tait the guitar I wanted.

For the ratio Q / P, bah forcment is a bit expensive but the quality is there, everything is done by hand, verifies and rechecked the finishes are impeccable.

It does a month I use it so I can not say I would do if this choice, but I am completely satisfied for the moment and I think for a very long time!

Vigier Excalibur Special maple neck with Di Marzio pickups (PAF Pro in neck, middle and simple tone zone in bridge)
Maple Bolt 90/10 carbon reinforcement without adjustment possible (no need!) pitch type fender, broad and flat, good polish;
vibrato on Rolling ball goes non-floating (sustain)
Alder body, maple table + beautiful
selector 5 "(not possible to have just one but two splits humbuckers instead) brand Schaler it seems;
volume and tone
+ 24 fret 0 frets medium jumbo excellent (low action without curls)
Graphite nut and guide ropes
Schaler mechanical blocking (very good performance of the agreement with use of vibrato)
violin and exemplary finish, all made in France!
Pouche by no cons and delivery time can be long (but c the grate of luthier, so ...)

UTILIZATION

The handle is for me the best ever cre!
Imagine a handle ultra fast robust frettsans rglage well and does not move regardless of the firing temperature and so on ... like a magic stick excalibur!
If you are a Lancelot of the guitar, nothing will seem impossible to play (taping, sweep, slap ....)
for the rest c's all good except perhaps Access in acute improved.
Note the fragility of the switches, knobs and the jack socket, so that the screw rod vibrato that might screw up the long, otherwise the wiring is clean and the cavities are shielded.

SOUNDS

For adpend sounds like or if not di Marzio and affects Rabl.
I test myself with Seymour Duncan and others, and your exact Di Marzio is very different.Avec 59 nd in a race I won heat for the blues (more realistic that the paf pro)
Microphones for home, see Reviews for Di Marzio!
The only personal default of the grate c not to be!
Let me explain:
C The only limit you, so we just look for all the sounds (the intermediate positions are superb)
If you should not have DiMarzio, well change them!
If you need a versatile instrument, which is good agreement (Vibrato allows an almost acrobatic flyod; galres sustain more and less!) And is easily adjusted, no problems! !
However if you grate a strong personality, very blues oriented sounds vintage with which you have to fight (les paul, vintage strat ...) you do not like the ease of its marvelous sleeve!
The Excalibur c for the game fast and technical, the choice of microphones is crucial to overcome the lack of possibly personnalitdu guitarist?).

OVERALL OPINION

My overall opinion? One of the most beautiful creation of the world's six string too perfect, but does not make perfect; a stratocaster is not yet his weaknesses are all the charm! A MDIT ...

guitar made in France
fixed bridge made by Vigier, the thing that kills death
Rodless a flat handle, reinforced with carbon fiber
24 + cargo freights 0 (very important)
config MSM 5 positions
Tone Zone in bridge, FS1 in middle, and air norton neck

UTILIZATION

It's simple, there is no better stick skyscraper possible, a solid stability, no need to settle, and 0 cargo brings more than other brands do not, in fact I do not know if it's a patent Vigier. 0 is the freight action very low, and perfect intonation.
the correct weight (heavier than a Fender Start but that's not much more)
The only downside of this guitar is the lack of muzzle to the right forearm.
The sound is good now, where can one have a sound of shit with a guitar of this quality with this type of microphone?

SOUNDS

I do a lot of musical styles and it suits me perfectly.
She excels in all areas: metal, jazz, funk, punk, reggae, rock, pop and the list goes on ...
In the field of metal and rock, which is interesting in contrast to Gib ESP, and Banez is the clarity of the distortion, it's never sloppy, the sound is extremely balanced and accurate.
there is nothing to throw in this beautiful piece of wood

OVERALL OPINION

it's been 6 years I have is my favorite, I'll sell it for anything.
I wonder if I even bought him a little sister would be the same. An instrument like that, I'm not sure that is interesting to have 2, the dilemma of using one or the other would be too hard

Guitar made in France with strato-type handle enriched with a carbon rod for rigidity and retention of its righteousness.
Di Marzio Paf Pickups Tone (neck) and Tone Zone (bridge) + 1 single microphone in the center. 5-way switch. 1 volume and 1 tone control.
Vibrato bridge. Channel

UTILIZATION

ultra comfortable to play, a must in my view, a highway to infinity and inspiration ... (I certainly excites me). What else to say except that the guitar is very balanced, so easy to play and that's all I ask of a guitar. The action is incredibly effective (after adjustment expert course to suit your style of play).

SOUNDS

The 3 pickups and 5-position switch can achieve a very diverse range of sounds, to play in almost all records with a certain quality and what about all clean! Metal, Rock, Pop on the "bridge position pickups," classical, jazz, latin, blues ... on "race positions. Therefore no limit to your inspirations, but the downside is definitely a lack of specialization: there is not a register where she excels as a stratocaster or a les paul ...

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar that I married a few years ago and that I will treasure ... it suits my game and my inspirations varied. Vigier thank you.
