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
