For the makers of Vigier, the dream came true. Thousands of hours have been devoted to rethinking literally every aspect of the guitar to make your playing life practical, your sound exceptional and give you the most thorough definition of what makes a Vigier Excalibur different from the rest.Vigier is not an industrial made guitar. It is made from state of the art lutherie methods. This is the reason why we do not manufacture thousands of guitars per month. A Vigier is unique and you will not find it in many hands. Contrary to industrial guitar makers that spend most of their time marketing and hunting for endorsements , we spend our time developing new systems. http://www.vigierguitars.net/gcatalog/gfcve6f.htm
EXCALIBUR SURFRETER®The technology of the Delta Metal fingerboard was first applied to the Arpège guitar when it was created in 1980. 17 years later, we thought that it was time to bring this unique option back into the spotlight with the creation of the Excalibur Surfreter. And we were right !Manufactured from 1997 onwards, this guitars success has grown and is now used by artists of various styles of music like Gary Moore, John Paul Jones, Shawn Lane and Ron Thal.The Surfreter is not a gimmick nor a slide guitar. It has been designed for guitar players that are looking for an open door to new sounds and new ideas. Play it clean or distorted. Tune it as you like. Discover: slide guitar without a bottle neck, crazy whammy effects without a whammy bar, the slowest metal riff on earth and even a sitar or Sarod sound. Your hearing will perceive what is beyond the perfect pitch. Just imagine you have frets placed all over the fingerboard. The sustain is fantastic and the guitar is easy to control. No wood fingerboard can offer its sound and lengthy sustain. Delta Metal™ fingerboardGold in color, the Delta Metal fingerboard is immediately striking and has a hard surface that will stay even for years. Its sound is so rich in harmonics that you'll even hear them evolve throughout the length of your note.
We have 20 years experience in making fretless guitars and setting them up. The Surfreter is unique and free of the heavy past that usually slows down the birth of the 21st century guitar. Try it and enter another world.
