ARTIFACT #3

Private collection / UK

Description

ViK Duality EVT6 “ARTIFACT” #3 is more than a guitar. It is the first ViK ever to bear the new ViK logo and the prestigious ViK Sovereign Reserve (VSR) badge — a museum-grade creation marking the dawn of a new chapter in our legacy.

At the heart of ARTIFACT #3 is its conceptual inlay, carrying the engraved message:

“True Power Comes From Within.”

The instrument is dominated by extraordinary ebony species, including a master-grade Black & White Ebony top, Madagascar Ebony fingerboard, and the first pure Black & White Ebony neck ever used on a ViK.

ARTIFACT #3 was conceived as more than an elaborate instrument. It is a declaration. A living artifact. A piece of art that anchors truth in a world of noise and hype.

It carries its place in the Sovereign Archive together with the VSR presentation package and provenance.
