UTILIZATION

In terms of weight, the difference is not sensitive with custom Excalibur (3.6 kg on the scale).
The ergonomics are excellent. Although rise in 0012, the action is very low and allows a very fast game effortlessly.

SOUNDS

Style of music: jazz, jazz-rock.
Acute humbucker provides easily sounds to Scofield.
The simple one and combined with humbucker in the middle position gives perfect for rhythmic sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over 3 months.
I have not tried to model before buying it, because this kind of model is generally not available in stores. But with Vigier, you can buy catalog eyes closed.
Price / quality ratio: no complaints. I had 500 euros cheaper than the best price in VPC (ie £ 2,700) because I went by the dealer in the region.
I would do this choice: yes, in a heartbeat.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, very soft to the touch for the back of the neck. good access to acute.

Ergonomics is very correct, although I find the guitar a little light in weight.

SOUNDS

The fretless sound is very nice, the sound remains very metallic due to the metal button. It suits me but it missed a little heat for some. As against the sound is very rich in harmonics. The sound is crystalline rather, we get not really sound very fat. I play on Surcharges essentially saturated the micro acute. For the clean sound is very much on the intermediate position.
Artificial harmonics sound crept excellently well! there is plenty to explore, and I think it applies to all styles.

I made two little videos where you can hear:



OVERALL OPINION

I am Surcharges for 4 months or so. I was already playing on a fretless guitar I made myself with a touch of stainless metal. The difference is that the vigier is really better and more playable, the strings are flush with the button is super playable.
Average value, that I think the price is not justified even if the guitar is really worth.
I do it again this choice without problems
