Shawn Lane Signature - Tremolo setup - Help Needed

thanks for clarifying!

that means then:

1) your bolt is higher than the pickguard (not in my case at the moment ... bridge too low)

2) the shorter than usual allen wrench (1cm) allows you to place it between pickup and the black pivot piece

Excalibur Custom Green Project

Nice score !!!

And that color .... first time I see that on a Vigier ....

Did you get "Vigier-original" parts (for restoring the tremolo, etc...), or another maker (Schaller, etc...)?

Contacted, but they have no clue when it will be available (same for the new zero-fret).

 

Any idea when these items will be available and order-able?
