Vigier, pioneer of carbon fibre guitars, has gone back to its roots with five hand-crafted Passion I guitars.
The bodies, which date back to 1983, have been completed with all modern electronics, special hand-wound Amber pickups and modern finishing touches for the extremely rare, one of a kind, neck-thru Vigier guitars.
They are the very last bodies from the period in Vigier’s rich history and have been naturally drying, in the Vigier factory, since 1983. They were picked out after a factory visit from UK manager, Ben Whatsley, who then subsequently discussed bringing these Passion I’s ‘back to life’ with master luthier, Patrice Vigier.
Vigier and his small team of luthiers, spent considerable time and effort to ensure the Passion I’s were completed in meticulous detail, getting them just right, with all the advances that Vigier has made over the years.
