Vigier did it again! Vigier Excalibur Kaos = Reverse headstock barebone!

[AeonSolus]

I Think i just found my dream touring metal guitar, although, i think that is still too expensive for a barebone, BUT it's a vigier, right?

Anyway, Onto the pics!

The Kaos is one of two new Excalibur models, and is the company's first reverse headstock guitar. The Kaos is loaded with two handmade humbuckers from German pickup manufacturer Amber pickups. It features traditional Vigier wiring (Humbucker 1/Single 1/Humbucker 1 & 2/Single 2/Humbucker 2) and is also fitted with the killswitch that originally appeared on the Excalibur Bfoot Signature.

The model is equipped with the unique non-locking tremolo mounted on ball bearings. It also benefits from one of Vigiers latest innovations: a string retainer they call the Flexretainer that eliminates all friction, improving the tuning stability.

I just hope they bring more color schemes or ebony fretboards, that would be yummlicious

How much is it?

 

[Customisbetter]

wow, thats everything i hate in guitars jumbled up into a Vigier.

 

[Thep]

looks like a cheap-ass guitar, but I love it. I've always wanted to try a Vigier.

 

[pink freud]

It has too many frets for my preferred Vigier. 24 too many, to be exact

 

[Key_Maker]

That's an odd looking trem.

Boring looking, i bet that is an awesome guitar, but Black? come on! we want some metallic finish or translucent!

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Kinda plain looking, but I don't mind black guitars.

 

[signalgrey]

bet it sounds monstrous but...boring to look at for sure.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Vigiers really need to be played to be fully appreciated. They're just gorgeous instruments.

And I like black guitars so this is a winner for me.

i guess they want to compete with Washburn WM526, Ibanez RGD, RG and all the brands that are being played within the metal scene, i agree on the guitar looking cheap for the 1799 Euros you're paying, but a plain black EBMM JP6 looks just as cheap, right? but it's a killer guitar, and i bet this vigier is no exception

I like how you can see the wall art in the reflection in the first picture.

I dunno..at least jp6's have some metallic effects in the colors but this..it make me think of...

Im sure it plays great but I've seen wayy better looking Vigers

this is what I call a Vigier

The pickup rings ruin the marilyn for me...

 

[Prydogga]

Black hardware would make it so much better, that Rosewood board looks so well grained though.

 

[ShadyDavey]

I saw this a little while back and my one and only dislike is the rosewood - maple or ebony would please me a great deal more. That said, it's a Vigier, and I imagine that once played it's going to be hard to beat

 

[Amiro]

that heel can't be comfortable

Maybe, but they're replaceable anyway
