Vigier Guitars

<t>Thanks for the reply Ben.<br/> <br/> Didn&apos;t know it was that well known, but the fat finger you mention brought my question up.<br/> <br/> So.... How much sustain do these tuner add? I&apos;m pretty sure - with the Vigier build quality in mind - that it must be a small return, has Vigier ...

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> I was wondering how you guys at Vigier discovered that oversized tuners would bring about extra sustain.<br/> <br/> Was it trial and error? <br/> Is there some research in the subject that got you to think about it?<br/> How much more sustain does it provide?<br/> <br/> I know the ...

I have never had any use for the 3 out of phase/mixed pick up positions on my vigier.
 
 
I&apos;d like to rewire it ti have the 3 position a middle pick up only. is this doable without changing the schaller 5 way switch?

Could you post a pick of that by any chance?

If the zero fret sits proud of the fret board, it sounds like your problem hasn&apos;t been rectified, they just found a way around it.
If that&apos;s the case, I wouldn&apos;t settle for that.

<t>Wasn&apos;t a GV done with a mahogany body?<br/> <br/> I thought I read a review somewhere that said so?<br/> Or is it an option? I see on the website they are all listed as having an alder body.<br/> <br/> I expect alder would make them quite a bit brighter, more articulate... but also perhaps a ...

Very nice looking guitar!


That 2nd pic makes it look like a starry sky!!!!

<r>alright......<br/> As per my user name, one might guess that I&apos;m pretty fond of les paul guitars.... I stumbled upon Vigier inadvertently, I needed (ok, wanted) a strat, wanted to buy it 2nd hand..... until I tried a Vigier Expert retro 54 (bought it new a few months later). 2 years+ on, I ...

Oh my.... That headstock does look realllllllllly nice....!!!!!!

<t>Thanks for the pics!<br/> <br/> <br/> Congrats on the expert! <br/> I&apos;ve got the Retro 54 too, in retro red (metalic dark burgundy - really nice) with maple neck - it&apos;s a VERY nice instrument.<br/> I never known which to pick, my LP or my Vigier..... It&apos;s a nice choice to have ...

<t>Virtual P90?<br/> Is it a silent/noiseless P90 then?<br/> <br/> How does it compare to a normal, say gibson, P90?<br/> My Vigier has the Di Marzio Virtual Vinatge 54 pick ups - they&apos;re brilliant, but have slightly more bass I think that normal single coils. I&apos;m very happy with those!</t>

That really is one of a kind!!!!
What&apos;s the exact pick up configuration and the 5 way switch wiring?
Did you say P90? It looks to be double humbucker + 1 single coil??

Something more for the jazz heads and blues/rock guitarists??

I&apos;ve had the oportunity to try that guitar in beautiful purple fade.....
 
But never wanted to. If it compares to my Gibson Les Paul, like my Vigier Expert compares to Custom shop Fenders, I didn&apos;t want to take the risk of not wanting to play my LP anymore...!!!!

<t>It&apos;be really interesting to know more about Vigier though. <br/> <br/> Indeed, how many guitars, basses are produced every year? <br/> <br/> How many people work at Vigier in France, crafting those beauties? <br/> <br/> And it&apos;d be interesting to know how many people worked Vigier to ...

<t>I&apos;ve got to say, they are extremely impressive instruments. Every detail of my Vigier Expert seems to have been engineered and redesigned, it&apos;s thouroughly impressive.All kept in a simple guitar, that, when it comes to it, feels fantastic, plays even better, and sounds beautiful, this ...

I&apos;ve seen one of those GV wood with phenowood fret board, you make me wish I had tried it now!!!!What&apos;s different about it compared to a maple or rosewood fret board? What do you mean by more responsive?

<t>I know they&apos;re all very well engineered guitars - still, one feature on my Vigier Expert , though perhap&apos;s not my favourite, gave me a nice unexpected surprise:The recessed jack makes it ever so much more confortable to play sitting down. The end bit of the guitar cable doesn&apos;t ...
