Vigier Excalibur Custom electric guitar

Description

Well, this is an instrument that could be written about for hours. It contains amazing innovations and technical solutions that no one else (or only one or two manufacturers) does today. The Floyd Rose tremolo in it is ball-bearing mounted, no knife edge to get dull, it returns beautifully precisely, holds tuning, and is indestructible. The neck is 90% wood, 10% carbon fiber, and has no truss rod, so it never needs adjustment and is not sensitive to temperature changes. Otherwise, it is very comfortably thin (not Ibanez JEM thin, maybe a little thicker, which makes it more comfortable) and super fast, with a great fret spacing. The fretboard is rosewood. The guitar has a 0 fret, so open strings sound as if they were fretted. This results in a very balanced sound, but the 0 fret also sets the string height from the headstock side, and plays a role in holding the tuning.

What's worth knowing about the Vigier brand: handmade French instruments of exclusive quality, and the namesake gentleman (Patrice Vigier) is available in all respects through their website.

What's worth knowing about this specific guitar: it's a 1998 model, but apart from one or two minor flaws (like the damage to the pickguard shown in the picture), it's in beautiful condition. I recently had the frets dressed and set up at V52. The original pickups have been replaced with Suhr Doug Aldrich bridge & neck and a Suhr Fletcher-Landau in the middle. The humbucker pickups can be split by pulling out the tone pot, producing incredibly clean sounds. There can be no complaints about the sound, the instrument sounds fantastic in every position. The whole instrument outperforms any Superstrat-style guitar, it's in a league of its own.

I could go on for hours listing its advantages. I'm not greedy, it's for sale at a very low price, far from unaffordable. Inquire!
