I've seen many videos of Christophe Godin (excellent player), and he's using his Vigier Excalibur 2010. He performs many tremolo dives/tricks/abuse, and the guitar still stays in tune.

If the 2010 is actually that stable, why would anyone need to get a Vigier with Floyd Rose?
This, as well as the amazing look and craftsmanship, is the main reason why i ordered a Vigier. There are very few guitar companies that are this attentive to a players needs, no matter how small or insignificant, or whatever style of music you play. I wonder if nobodies like myself could get this level of help and advice, have instruments designed with the everyday player in mind at companies like Gibson, Fender, PRS, Ibanez....I'm in no way slating these companies, they make great guitars too, but unless you're Vai, Satch, Gilbert, Slash, Page et al, you seem like another number. I don't get that feeling with Vigier. Whether it's my guitar i will soon get or big name players like Bumblefoot or Godin, i have faith that my instrument will be of just as high standard even though i am a nobody. Please don't ever change my 50 pence BradWade Laycook wrote:we also fix the Allen keys to the back of the headstock to help speed up those string changes. In short we want to provide to as many different players as possible, and offer them the most versatile instruments available.
You are not a 'nobody' but one of our players ; each and every guitar that is lovingly crafted by the geniuses in our factory is made to the very highest quality and standards no matter who it is for.Wade Laycook wrote:i have faith that my instrument will be of just as high standard even though i am a nobody.

For us you are not nobody, nobody does not exist :=) you are a human bean and therefore you deserve respect. We make our instruments with the same quality for everybody. I know many brands that make industrial instruments for the mass and have two luthiers that work for the artists.... sure you do not get the same instrument in the shop. Of course we give some favors to our artist, but it is more in term of ultra good service or like Ron Thal some unique instrument that we make once for them, but the quality of their guitar is identical. I still control every instrument that comes out of the manufacture, before me there is another control (Thierry) and after me another (Jean Marie)...Wade Laycook wrote:Wade Laycook wrote:we also fix the Allen keys to the back of the headstock to help speed up those string changes.
