This is the top-of-the-range Vigier Excalibur model. Almost completely mint condition with a stunning flame maple top and finish. Super-low action with an awesome bright but full tone. Very versatile with a pair of DiMarzio Virtual Vintage noiseless single coils and a Bare Knuckle Holy Diver humbucker in the bridge. A coil tap switch has been added, and the pots have been changed to 500k from 1 meg (which was making the single coils sound very thin). It holds tune perfectly courtesy of a very smooth trem with roller saddles, roller string tree and locking tuners, all Schaller. The graphite-reinforced neck is obscenely strong and will not warp or twist under any circumstances.
Includes matching Hiscox flightcase.

I'm thinking £1800, but make me an offer if you're interested.

It's a world class custom built guitar with:

5A flame top
one-piece chambered mahogany body
highly figured birdseye maple neck
Brazilian rosewood fretboard and neck laminates
Seamless set-neck construction
Custom Bare Knuckle "Knuckleduster" pickups
Top of the line Gotoh hardware inc. locking tuners, Dunlop straplocks
Dunlop 6000 fretwire
Earvana compensated nut

Very recently refretted and set up by Feline Guitars, this guitar plays incredibly and can go all the way from fat Les Paul tones to dead-on Tele sounds thanks to the custom pickups.
Here are a couple of clips I've done with it:

The colour is much more strikingly orange in person, and the flame top pops like you wouldn't believe. Absolute knockout guitar.
PM me if you want more pics/details.
Includes matching cream-coloured Hiscox flightcase.
