    Are you sure about the switch settings? On most vigiers the middle position is a split neck/bridge

    Vigiers are great guitars! I do live in France, but due to it's price range, even here they are rare (hard to try).

      If you can drive to Tucson (not too far) Rainbow guitars carrys Vigier, that's where I bought mine. Its limited stock though so youd have to call and make sure they have one

    You should use a better amp for the test like a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier or Bogner Ecstasy. A cheap amp does no justice to a 5k custom guitar.

    The switching should be this:
    1 Humbucker in neck position
    2 Single-coil in neck & middle position
    3 Single-coil in neck & bridge position
    4 Single-coil in bridge & middle position
    5 Humbucker in bridge position

    Guitar Interactive Magazine. I've heard the action is "by nature," incredibly low. Low, and not really designed for a higher action. I haven't played a low-action electric in years but am in love with the Mysterious Green Vigier.
    So - how low is low in this case?

    • @einarabelc5
      @einarabelc5 2 года назад

      Specs are on their site. Shawn Lane's signature version is HALF of a standard low action because the fretboard is flat as in a Spanish Classical guitar.

    ALL three pickup guitars should actually have a 7 position switch! They should include the bridge pickup and the neck pickup AND ALL three pickups together to make 7 positions!

      Renaissance Man that’s really surprising. Carbon fiber is one of the more stable substances on earth. Moisture and temperature don’t really affect it at all. I wonder if it delaminated somehow.

      Your third hand report is the only I've EVER heard of this happening... and Vigier have been doing 90/10 necks since 1988... I frankly doubt the report of your tech.

    Would be amazing if the bridge was recessed, but unfortunately they don't make any like that, except for ones with locking nuts. Count me out.

      @@cyril185 Meh. I already have a PRS custom 24 that has a non recessed floating bridge. It’s okay but when I need the upward range I run out of room before the bridge hits the top of the guitar lol. Can’t really use it for any trem heavy parts.

    Why is this 2k more than a Jackson, Ibanez, Fender or ESP custom shop guitar? What makes it more special than other shredder custom shop guitars?

    • @ronthal
      @ronthal 5 лет назад +3

      Not so sure why you write so much simply to denigrate this guitar, but I own a fairly high-end S series Ibanez and tried many different guitars of that kind of range... Vigier Excalibur is just another league in terms of feel, build quality and tone etc... Forget about Ibanez or Jackson, maybe think US custom PRS or rather Music Man. But then we are in the same price range (actually Vigier are a bit cheaper in Europe compared to US imports, might be the opposite for USA prices due to taxes and importer margin).

    Things I would change about this:
    1.-Neck Joint: Get out of the 1940s already, you have carbon fiber, why can't you round the joint? EBMM figured it out.
    2.-The bridge setup. It has to be carved to go both up and down.
