NGD! Vigier Excalibur Pics and Clip!

[bulb]

So i traded my PRS Singlecut for this today, and man as much as i loved the PRS, this thing is really just on a whole 'nother level!

Here are pics:

Here is a clip:

SoundClick artist: Bulb - Hello! I am Bulb! Enjoy the tunes!

And for a quick review:
The neck is super fast and smooth, the maple fretboard is equally so making bends and vibrato very comfortable!
Im not sure what pickups are in there, they look like Dimarzios, but regardless they sound so good im almost weary of switching even the bridge out for a BKP (though i probably will just cuz haha!)
The action on the guitar is pretty much as low as my blackmachine was when i first got it, however unlike my blackmachine, this guitar has no truss rod, and does not require (or even allow you for that matter) to adjust the neck for setups, so it should stay like this unless i change it!!
I am definitely going to be using this axe both live and for recording!

Sounds good man. Nice looking guitar too.

Lasse might move this to the equipment section though.

nice guitar, congrats

about the trussrod, are you sure it doesnt have one? perhaps its in the heel of the neck..
i had them same thought with my new james trussart steelcaster, till someone from the bareknuckle forum told me that its proably in the heel of the neck..and so it is..

cheers

The Vigier Excalibur I played in London this summer was hands down the nicest guitar I've ever touched, jealous dude!

Sick, I always wanted to try one of the 7 strings.

That's not a regular skunk stripe, that's a big ol' chunk of carbon fiber in the center of the neck. Hence - no truss rod.

I think it's a really cool design.

I think Vigier calls it the "10/90" system or something, 10% carbon, 90% wood.

 

[nwright]

Does that neck have a 0 fret? Any closeups of the nut area? (haha)

 

[bulb]

yeah thanks to the 10/90 system you never need to adjust the neck, so there are no truss rods, it is always setup amazing no matter where you are or what time of year, and i believe the only thing you would need to adjust for different gauge strings are the saddle heights and intonation. (though currently they are both perfect!)
It does indeed have a zero fret!

 

[Cacoph0ny]

That sounds convenient as hell. I want one.

Looks really nice, and no truss-rod adjustment = pure win. So what guitars do you currently own? I'm also curious about the Blackmachines...how close to the strings does he generally have the BKP set?

From the Vigier site, seems that the pickups are as follows:

PAF Pro/FS1/Tone Zone

I assumed we would see you with one of these:

But I dig what you bought - not to mention - it sounds really nice as well.
