(Click for a close-up)

Shawn Lane's family and Vigier Guitars have announced the release of the Excalibur Shawn Lane signature guitar; an improved replica of the guitar he exclusively played from 1995 when he first met Vigier, until his death in 2003.

The most important and original details in this guitar are a flat fingerboard, a shorter scale compared to the rest of the Excaliburs that measures 24.8" (630mm), and an exceptionally low action; string height is at 0.027" (0.7 mm) from the 12th fret

Like the other Excaliburs, it features the 10/90 carbon fiber/maple wood neck system, a tremolo that pivots on ball bearings to reduce friction, 24 frets, and a hardened zero fret.
