She brings a wealth of listening and playing experience to her craft and her background as a rhythm guitar player has given her a long and intimate connection to the classic Selmer guitar sound. In 2009 he was memorialized with the G.V. Park has been building fine guitars in Vancouver, British Columbia since 1991. Georges had helped Patrice build the very machines that help make Vigier the precision instruments they are. Patrice’s father, Georges Vigier passed in 2007. In 2006, Vigier opened its UK office and introduced the Bumblefoot and Roger Glover signature models, the first left handed Excaliburs and managed to innovate something as simple as the strap button on every instrument. It remains the only model available in our lineup with a flat fingerboard. Vigier began production of the Shawn Lane Signature Excalibur in 2005. This was also the year Vigier introduced the interchangeable zero fret, the Excess 4 string bass and the Excalibur Supra 7 string guitar. Of course as much as he looked back, our fearless leader continued to look forward. The Expert models all feature vintage design married to cutting edge single coils and Vigier’s signature neck, trem, hardware and finish innovations. What he created from this vintage perspective was the Expert series. I have tried to get info on this guitar online but reach dead ends as these guitars had mysterious production issues. First is Intermountain Guitar and Banjo, and the other is simply called Acoustic Music. The turn of the century saw Patrice pursue something of a vintage passion – the triple single coil guitar. I plan on buying a case for it and getting the buzz problem fixed by 1 of 2 local shops that I trust. The Excalibur Surfreter was launched and its impact was immediately felt. To keep up with the cutting edge musicians playing his instruments, in 1998 Patrice reintroduced his fretless concept from nearly two decades prior. He is a cornerstone of Vigier’s presence in France and beyond. His wild style (including early slap-guitar innovations) and sense of humor fit his Vigier instruments like a glove. This wacky bastard has influenced a generation of players like his stateside counterparts. Not to be left behind, French guitar revolutionary Christophe Godin joined the Vigier team in 1999. These players and their style continue to be synonymous with Vigier. In 1995, with the introduction of the Excalibur Supra and Special, Shawn Lane would join as a Vigier endorser alongside Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. With the Excalibur came the Vigier/Floyd Rose tremolo system, which pivots on ball bearings.
