Vigier – Hi-End French Electric Guitars of the 80s

Combining a Rickenbacker-esque body shape and BC-Rich style electronics, these circa 1986 Vigiers are pretty interesting, unlike the staid ‘super-strats’ that the company offers today.  (Is it even the same company?  Let us know,,,,).  They also remind me a bit of certain older models of Killer, the high-end Japanese brand that’s never been offered in the US.  These 80s Vigiers were astronomically expensive, so it’s not surprising that I’ve never actually seen one.  Anyone?

  • They still advertise in British guitar magazines. According to friends over there, they're clunky and way overpriced.
