In this MusikMesse video, Warmowski - Gearwire's ugliest American - simultaneously represents the Chicago White Sox, shows off his French language skills and has a chat with Patrice Vigier, master luthier and owner of Vigier Guitars.

Patrice brings us through the story of the Excalibur electric guitar, a truly unusual fretless design with a fingerboard made of alloy metal. The guitar's tone is surprisingly sweet as we hear when Patrice sits down and tosses off a few licks.
