Patrice, Do your necks use threaded inserts?

<P>I saw an article on The Gear Page about bolt-on neck guitars that use a threaded metal insert to reinforce the necks when the screws are tightened.</P> <P><a target="_blank" href="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=721967">http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=721967</A...

Artist interviews

And the same guys are playing the same boring american guitars. I'm so tired of seeing Fenders and Gibsons every place I turn. It will be great to have a Vigier.  No one anywhere near me has one.  I doubt they can even pronounce the name correctly!

Purchasing Vigier strings in the United States

If I wanted to buy sets of Vigier strings made up of specific gauges from the individual strings available and seen on this website, or even already made up sets of Vigier strings, what would be the pricing and where would I enquire about this, please?


Thank you

Are all Vigier guitar wood grown and harvested in France?

Well, I did find a site about Vigier guitars that does state that the wood used in these guitars is French maple and French alder.  Ebony fretboards do come from Africa, but are the most expensive type and grade. The maple is the same grade as classical violin makers use.
