ViK guitars Caprice S test

This one Caprice S is my personal. I do really love Her, probably more than any other of my guitars...

i also want to say that your headstock is the coolest design i have ever seen.

Very nice black and blue pattern on the headstock. Shapewise, it's a little extreme for my tastes - I like the black lotus better - but it's undeniable interesting. Resembles a Schecter Avenger, but your shape is way cooler, IMO.

Those are definitely sexy guitars. 3 of the best designs I've seen in a while, actually, not that I've seen a lot. The caprice's headstock colors are definitely amazing, but I don't really like the shape of it. I'd love to see that on the lotus!

Here's a sample of Duality 7 clean sound with Rio Grande pickups. We have actually ordered some custom ones to replace these pieces of sh..t. Anyway some character, sustain and response are still well heard at this record.



That sounds amazing; as good as it looks... really digging those clean tones with the single coil in the neck :) Also win @ the To Live Is To Die riff; I play that all the time :)

Thanks to everybody!
I hope in a few months I'll be able to produce a number of those and throw them to some music centers in US, so you could not only watch them but give'em a try. :shred:

i want that second one... NOW

The Duality Series sexiness... :agreed:

This time I know only one way to get Her :rolleyes:.

On November 2th we expect new custom made pickups set for that Duality to replace Rio Grande. The guitar is far away from me in S.Petersburg so I hope the customer will make some video or audio samples so we all could feel the difference.

Check the first official demo video for ViK Guitars Black Lotus 7 model. Youtube did f**k up the quality but the idea is still there.
Be sure to check both parts as the second one is the main.





Good quality is available on request.

Sorry, this time I have none of them in stock but they're still available for custom orders which will take about 3 months to complete.

In stock is Caprice S Korina, made of one piece korina with huge great "lylies" inlays.
