NGD a few weeks late: Vigier Excalibur Ultra Blues

[Nolly]

I've had this guitar a while already, but never made an NGD thread for it:

It's a Vigier Excalibur Ultra Blues. It has a Bare Knuckle Holy Diver in the bridge, and a coil split switch. The natural light is poor today so the figuring isn't popping out as it does in person.

Also had some work done on my Blackmachine B6 - custom BKP set, 3-way coil split, fretboard re-radius and refret. The work was carried out by Feline Guitars in London, who did a truly excellent job. Pics:

Hahah, yeah, it's a lovely example. You can see the figure popping out more in this pro shot:

Is that Blackmachine Ash? Is it unfinished or oiled?? It looks great as well

Yep, it's swamp ash and is completely raw, no finish. Sounds utterly ridiculous!

That quilted maple Black Machine is something special
As far as finish goes on them the bodies are oil finished using Danish Oil as I recall.
But the wood is sanded to a superfine grade and burnished and buffed first.

That BM6 is a real beauty as well Nolly - was good to get working so nice

Oops - I resurrected this thread whilst looking over Black Machine stuff

Does the Vigier have SS frets ?

 

[Bob Savage]

Absolutely beautiful. I love my Vigier.

Somehow, I have never heard of the BlackMachines, but OMG!
Gorgeous!!! LOVE the reverse Parker-style headstock and raw wood.
