Vigier is one of the brands with the most consistent production quality we know. Created by Patrice Vigier in 1980, it is a French Custom Shop that produces 400-500 high-end electric guitars and basses per year. Established in Grigny, Essonne, Vigier is known for incorporating technical innovations such as the 90/10 carbon-reinforced neck that no longer requires a truss-rod, the zero fret for a homogenous sound, and no friction a the nut, and the Vigier ball bearing system for the vibratos. In terms of lutherie, alder, maple, and ash come from French forests; rosewood comes from India, and mahogany is from Honduras. The woods are sorted, steamed, and then naturally dried for 3 to 7 years for perfect stability and resonance, and the fingerboard is machined within 1/100th of a millimeter. Each instrument is built impeccably, finished and tuned in the workshop, and delivered in a premium case.

The Excalibur is a guitar that comes in many versions, around the same foundation: a two-piece body of alder, a bolt-on maple neck with a very comfortable D-profile, a fingerboard radius of about 12" (because it's 300 mm), stainless steel frets, self-locking tuners, and flawless finishes. Depending on the fretboard, bridge type, and pickup configuration, the Excalibur can be a classic rock beast, a metal weapon, or a shred-machine. And the name is so cool!

This Excalibur Indus is the culmination of Vigier's refinement of its flagship model. With two humbuckers and a 5-way position switch, this incredibly versatile instrument exploits all possible single/double positions for a rather typified "classic rock" sound, since a pair of DiMarzio PAF Classic sets the tone. This guitar exudes a feeling of strength and controlled aggression with its satin-black finish. Equipped with a virtually indestructible and ultra-reliable 2011 Vigier vibrato, this is a guitar that delivers a big tone, clean or overdriven, with a somewhat vintage grain.
