Re: GV Wood - nuts n strings

Thanks  - I will definitely order a new size nut then, so I have the option to go up a gauge. I have a set of GHS Eric J's still in their packet - I didnt realise they were half-rolled, so will give them a try when I have new nut installed - thanks  !

GV Wood - nuts n strings

I’m lucky enough to own GV Wood in solid and hollow body versions  I find the pickups too bright for my amp setup - has anyone tried half wounds ?  Also - does anyone know if the standard nut for the GV (ships with 9-46 strings ) will also take a slightly heavier set - up to 10-50 for example ? Than...

True Temperament

Hi Patrice / Ben


Are there any plans for Vigier to work with the TT guys in Sweden and offer True Temperament necks?



Thanks

Sustain issue on low e on my Kaos

Try lowering the pickups slightly too, and check the strings have space to run thru the nut.

New Guitar - Buzz on the A string

If that doesn't work - I suggest trying a brand new A string - it could be the string/windings which are faulty - I have had this before with duff wound or unwound strings

That's a shame steve - you sure it wasn't just that one ?

May be worth looking out for another  - or try a GV Rock ?

String buzz on New GV wood

Hi Steve - did you get the neck/fret issues sorted OK

Aposl you were asking about action - My only Vigier is a Lane model - so probably not a good comparison ( its very very very low, partially due to having a flat fretboard)

String buzz on New GV wood

I hope all works out OK - I was sorely tempted by that very axe myself at WG when I saw it online.

I'm keen to see one "in the flesh " to see just how dark/pale the colour is  - hopefully there will be another at one of the UK dealers soon

Definitely take Ben and Patrice's advice (Vigier customer service is exceptional as always)

Hope the dealer isn't too far away for you

String buzz on New GV wood

Have you had a look up the neck to ensure the pitch looks ok?  May be worth trying new strings, but it would be unusual for 2 to play up

Does it happen on open string as well as fretted?

Do you hear it thru an amp ( wondering if the zero fret may be loose?)

Can you feel the carbon strip sometimes?

I'm guessing its the wood in the neck shrinking in the winter? The carbon fibre strip won't move.
