<r>Hey! You can check your guitar in its case no problem. I fly with Vigiers all the time and usually check them. It's all good! Especially with our neck systems. The only potential issue is with the mirror pickguards. I have had one or two crack from getting dropped somewhere along t...

<r>Hey Mike, DJ here, we met briefly in TX. Sorry for the trouble! This is completely atypical. Usually guitars with maple boards arrive from our factory to our dealer in 2 days (sometimes 1!) We're doing everything in our power to resolve this, but it's been a very frustrating s...

<r><QUOTE author="kerrmedia"><s>[quote="kerrmedia"]</s> Only had my Vigier Retro 54 for a year or so but use it every day. I guess I stepped on the cable too many times. Also when sitting and playing the cable is attached to the guitar at just the right spot that the guitar puts pressure o...

Hey Noam,

Send an email to David Rose - david@music-center.co.il he's our Israeli distributor and will take care of you. You should be able to get the jack from him.

Awesome review! Thank you so much for playing Vigier and for sharing the kind words...

You'll be even more pleasantly surprised 10 years from now when you're still pouring sweat and the neck STILL never moves :)

<r><QUOTE author="Funkjazzaxe"><s>[quote="Funkjazzaxe"]</s> Nice one DJ look forward to it. One thing I've read as a possiblity to extended the life of a zero fret is to flip it over. It was either on this forum or another. What do you think about that Ben/DJ? I possibly se...

VigierDJ

<r><QUOTE author="Funkjazzaxe"><s>[quote="Funkjazzaxe"]</s> Good idea DJ. A sticky kind-of FAQ with videos/general maintenance tips on this forum would be a very good thing. There's already the zero-fret one on youtube. Keep everything in one place here. ...

<r>Hey Dave, Nuts are $14.99 + $5 shipping from France, zero frets are $19.99. Send me an email with your model and serial number and we'll make sure you get the part you need. These are always in stock and ready to go. Wait time is usually a couple days just to process the order and ...

VigierDJ

Honestly, in theory that makes sense. I literally copied and pasted this from an email from the factory, so I'll double check with them!

VigierDJ

<r><QUOTE author="Funkjazzaxe"><s>[quote="Funkjazzaxe"]</s> Thanks for the detailed response- I appreciate the insight. I can see how over time the zero fret would wear out and I have no issues with occasional replacement. I do like the design and think the improved action...

Hey guys, this is from the factory...

Bridge pickup : 3,5mm low (top) / 2.5mm high (bottom) Neck pickup : 2,5mm low (top) / 1.5mm high (bottom)

That's the measurement from the pickup to the string itself. Hope it helps!

Hey! There is definitely a difference in tone and volume when you change the height of your pickups. I'm not sure exactly what the measurement is for the Excess offhand, but will find out and let you know!
