Congratulations! If you can get on with 26'' inch scale and the weird D profile, you will love it. I have tried, owned 3 different models but sold them on...

That's an odd scale length, @elx, what guitar was that? Their website says 630 mm/24.8" for the Lane model, and 650mm/25.6" for the other models, which is just a smidge longer than a Strat.

Indeed, 25,6, my mistake. But it did feel weird. They are extremely well built, but they felt wrong. I don't know...

@elx Yeah, we get so used to the feel of the standard scale lengths that anything else feels odd. But I reckon if you put the time in on an instrument, you can get used to it. 630 made total sense for Lane, with his small hands.

What was your job? Going to gig or teach full time? Good luck

Great looking guitar - please do us a demo!

civil service...boring ! Going to build up teaching full time over the next year-and-a-half. Will attempt a demo of the guitar sometime next week

thomasross20 · October 2016

Man, if only I could do similar! Best of luck and defo look forward to the demo!

Lovely.

I know a couple of people with Vigiers, one being a Shawn Lane exactly like that. Both are unbelievable guitars.

thomasross20 · October 2016

I really want to try one of these now.

Unfortunately not....it was to mark a bit of a life-change so can't see myself selling it..plus it has many many miles on the clock! It'd be worth dropping World Guitars a line, I'm sure they can order one in for you. Last time I looked they were about £2600 new, which is cheaper than the ones on Reverb. I think Peach are the other Vigier stockist in the UK.

Slight thread derail - has anyone played or owned a GV Rock?

Humbucked · July 2020

The man to ask is 'yuri' on this Forum. Jorge is a devotee of Vigier and maintains quite a collection, including GV's

ManWithoutSkin · July 2020

I’ve got two GV Rocks. They’re both great guitars, incredibly well built and sound fantastic.

I love the way they look and the reviews have been great, they all rave about the neck profile - I’ve never seen one for sale, new or secondhand

cm01 · July 2020

Oh yeah, any pics?

@yuri_1973 had a GV Rock for sale recently which I almost bought might be worth dropping him a PM

yuri_1973 · July 2020

I indeed have two.... A black matte one and a pearl white... Both are equally great but could live with just one of them, if anybody is interested... Pm me

Howdy, Stranger!
