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

Vigier_CupCombining 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.
