Description
Vigier Excalibur Special HSH Ruby Red
The Vigier Excalibur is the pinnacle of design and quality. Unique features include the 90/10 Neck system, Vigier Locking Machine heads, teflon nut, zero fret and stainless steel frets. There is also a string dampener behind the nut to allow for legato playing and minimal overtones.
The neck is the centerpiece of any fretted instrument in terms of both sound and comfort. Vigier has always concentrated its efforts on developing new concepts to improve the performance of their necks. The necks are machined by CNC, but final shaping is handled by Vigier's master luthiers. Each and every instrument receives special attention and no part of the neck or body is overlooked.
This particular piece also comes in a Vigier Padded Gig Bag
