NBGD - Vik FF7 (vid inside)

[Fred the Shred]

My friend Felix knew I was most curious about the guitars Vik makes, so he kindly lent me one of his own to fiddle with, for which I'm most thankful.

First off, the sheer beauty of this thing is something I can simply state that no pics will do justice to.

This axe is fitted with Vik's own pickups, with wooden covers, and they sound quite natural and warm. The action was too low for me (think "strings glued to fretboard"... Haha!), and after a setup, she started singing beautifully, and has immense sustain. Note separation is, as expected on a fan fret, great and the birdseye maple board works great in terms of giving the guitar some very welcome snap to the attack.

Without further ado, here are some pics:












And here's a vid with her and my Blackmachine B7 in tandem, as I really felt this one complemented her just great:


I hope you guys enjoy!

So, you'll order VIK in the future?

And, at first, I read song title as F.A.P. , dunno why :x

[Fred the Shred]

Freud probably has a silly explanation for that... 

As for me ordering a Vik, time will tell - quality is great, that's for sure.

Dude, your guitar is disabled and a little creased

VIK makes one of the most intriguing instruments in terms of aesthetics and quality. And it always looks like "that's wood, men, all over".

[Omlet]

Disgusting design, too much strings () but great selection of wood.

Congratulations!

[SaschaK]

Not too fond of the body shape plus I've always considered fanned-frets necks look weird

I do love the looks of the wood, especially the back of the body - what is it made of?

Sounds good too. Have fun with it!

[Bjørn]

Masterfuckingpiece.

[Musza]

The guitar isn't my thing but the video is great as usual

[Aston]

Looks absolutely sweet, I love nice woods. That limba on the back and the neck are great.

Is there nobody saying that proportions are bad and headstock is funny/weird?

[lupus]

the guitar is looking strange, but woods are beautiful nonetheless.

BTW: what chain are you using for the main lead melody? It sounds almost like some kind of nice, electronic lead, I like this tone very, very much

This shape is strange and AMAZING

It's just a Silverblade Bloodhound profile, with a TS ddriving it and an analog delay model after - it's mostly how I play it and try to take advantage of the analog demay's organic decay.

Can you tell us something more about your pick? It's so fat...

[mondomg]

Is it a Hufschmid pick? Also, the shape and the overall design of the guitar is one of the most unique and remarkable looking instruments I've ever seen. Yeah, so jelly... The song is great too, not a fan of the mix, though.
