Hello folks,


I'm thinking about tightening down the bridge on my Excalibur Supra but I have a few questions first.


If I do this will it upset how the action is set on my guitar? 


Is tightening the bridge down simply just a case of tightening the two screws in the trem cavity at the back of the guitar? 


Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.

Hey,     This should not be a problem to do, although you may have to adjust the saddles and posts for intonation once the bridge is tightened back. Make sure you read the manual for help with the adjustments.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply.  Would I need to take the strings off to do this?  Is there anyway that I can block the trem, like do Vigier sell a specially made block for the trem?  I'd be worried about doing this and it throwing off my set up, which I really like, altogether.

We do not make a specific block for our trems.  Personally, I would say it would be best to take the strings off to do these adjustments, especially if you are adjusting the posts etc (make sure to loosen the screws on the posts first before you try adjusting them).

Hi Ben, Thanks for all the help.Just a few more things.  When you say posts what do you mean?  Do you mean the little screws for adjusting the intonation?  i was also wondering, when I have tightened the screws could I just adjust the overall height of the bridge instead of each individual string saddle?  I think it would be better that way, what do you say?Thanks again!

The posts are the two posts that the bridge pivots on.
