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. While industry makes you dream over averagely made guitars, Vigier makes real, efficient and easy to play guitars that are made for guitarists with high standards. Read our catalog, try our guitars and you'll understand. •ComfortThis is the master element of the guitars sound and comfort. It always receives particular attention every time we develop new concepts to improve its performance. Because the neck is not mass produced, each one can be verified individually by our luthiers. With their hands and their eyes they will make sure nothing was overlooked. And with your hands you’ll feel it !•WoodWe use the same maple wood selected by great classical instrument makers to manufacture the neck. This wood is selected in France's forests and dried naturally for years (right now 7 years!) before it will be cut and used. Its humidity level is strictly controlled while it is stored.•Fingerboard and FretsYou can choose from rosewood or maple wood for the fingerboard. Each fingerboard is rectified to the one hundredth of a millimeter to ensure it's exceptionally straight. 24 medium gauge frets will then be fitted, also rectified and polished meticulously.•This exclusive advanced concept of 10% carbon and 90% wood replaces the traditional metal truss rod with a dense carbon strip to reinforce the neck. Employed for 18 years on all Vigier guitars and basses, this concept makes the neck strong and stable during climate change. We never believed it was logical to drill a hole through a neck and then insert a rod of metal inside. Because wood necks vibrate, they can absorb the energy of the string and shorten sustain. The 10/90 neck is solid, notes ring longer and your sound is precise and powerful.•NEW Hardened  TechnologyA zero fret has always been fitted on all of our instruments. This slightly higher fret’s role is to even open or fretted string notes, ensure perfect string height, minimize string friction and help avoid detuning, especially when using the tremolo. Now, thanks to new technology, we’ve been able to harden it so it lasts longer and make it removable so it’s easier to replace if needed.•FinishIn order to completely protect the neck as well as enhance its feel and play, a mat varnish was sprayed on it.•ComfortWe designed the shape of the body with the thought of improving the harmony between you the player, and the guitar. The perfect balance of the guitar is achieved by aligning the neck with the axis of the human body. The Excalibur weighs approximately 3Kg and is undoubtedly one of the lightest guitars in its category. So, for those players who play spectacular, action filled concerts or just endlessly somewhere, we are positive that you’ll appreciate its manageability and lightweight.•WoodDepending on the models, we can use alder, maple, or ash wood. Also selected in France’s forests, these woods are real and solid. They are dried naturally for years in our factory before we cut them. The body is made up of only 2 center-joined pieces not 4, or sometimes even 7 pieces like other makers. Finally, our flamed maple is real. It's not a photo imitation.•FinishThe summit of quality is denoted in our finishes. Our master finisher sprays over 10 coats of varnish between numerous sanding procedures and then waits a minimum of one month before polishing to obtain a shine and protection on the body that will last throughout years and earn you some envious glances. Please refer to the technical specifications at the end of our catalog for our standard color.This non-locking tremolo is set on the Excalibur Ultra for guitarist that are looking for a rich, crunchy sound. Usually, the bridge’s pivot system is fitted with knives but we decided to replace them with ball bearings. Once the knives are worn, there is no way the tremolo can come back to its original position because there is friction. When this happens you will have detuning problems. Our ball bearings can turn 10,000 times per minute and so are impossible to wear. The perfect tuning stability of the Excalibur Ultra is also ensured through the locking machine heads that are precisely aligned with the strings and our traditional zero fret that eliminates friction at the level of the nut. Another important detail, is the short distance between the bridge saddle and the place where the string is anchored. Each saddle can be locked into position once intonation is set and a small roller is located at the string break point to minimize friction. The Excalibur Ultra has as much tuning stability as guitars equipped with a Floyd Rose type tremolo.
•Our 10/90 Neck System also contributes to tuning stability because it doesn't have a metal truss rod and it's solid. With wood necks, the metal truss rod can rub inside and cause detuning problems.•SoundWe could go into a lengthy description of the numerous sound possibilities this model can give you, but we seriously think the best thing is to get your hands on one and hear it for yourself.•ConfigurationsThis models is equipped with  or DiMarzio pickups but refer to the  at the end of this page for more information.We sprayed a shielder inside the electronic cavity to reduce hum when playing at high volumes. The wiring is meticulously done and our brand choices for electronic parts are  and Switchcraft. The controls are comprised of volume, tone, and a five-way switch that allow you to select or combine the pickups as follows:

2 Humbuckers & 1 single-coil (Excalibur Ultra)	2 Single-coil & 1 humbucker (Excalibur Ultra Blues)
1 Humbucker in neck position	1 Single-coil in neck position
2 Humbucker in neck & single-coil in middle position	2 Single-coil in neck & middle position
3 Humbucker in neck & bridge position	3 Single-coil in neck & humbucker in bridge position
4 Humbucker in bridge & single-coil in middle position	4 Humbucker in bridge & single-coil in middle position
5 Humbucker in bridge position	5 Humbucker in bridge position

Instead of having just the middle pickup alone ( position 3), the 5-way switch has been wired to connect the bridge and neck pickup together.•OutputTo prevent your guitar cable from being pulled out while you’re playing, or connect a transmitter, we recessed the output jack into the edge of the body.Vigier  are fitted on all of our instruments. Please know that strings generate your sound and it's through them that it will take shape so, if you neglect changing them regularly, you will diminish the sound quality of the guitar. Also, the alloy and gauge of the string will affect your sound. So, when you buy a new set, make sure that they are made by a reputable string maker that guarantees its quali
