Vigier Shawn Lane & custom models
Posted: 24 Mar 2021 18:14
Hello,
I'm the proud owner of a Shawn Lane signature (the plain matte one).
Needless to say, it's the best Vigier on the market (IMHO), and a true testament to one of the greatest players who ever walked the earth.
However, after changing pots and pickups to something a tad more spicy (a Super Distortion and a Norton), when I look at it, I think it could be more let's say "attractive".
Let's face it, while certainly not ugly, it's not the prettiest guitar out there...
I realize Shawn is how he liked it, stripped down and bare bones, and that's OK. It's an efficient hyper-shred machine and it does what it does.
However... What if the great Patrice used the flat radius and shortened 24.8" scale as a "platform" to choose more colour options from and maybe a maple board as an alternative (my personal preference)?
Or, if not, how about a custom line where customers can add more options and be put on a waiting list? Just my 2 cents.
Thanks, cheers!
