Floyd vs Vigier Trem Range, Tuning Compensation
Posted: 25 Mar 2021 22:11
Two questions:
Is there a massive difference in range of dive or pull back between the Vigier trem and the Vigier modded Floyds? It's so much more common to find Excaliburs with the Vigier trem, it has me wondering if the Floyd versions offer much of any advantage.
Also, is the zero fret on a Vigier placed closer to the bridge at all from a traditional placement? I also use compensated systems for my guitars, whether it be installing a compensated nut or just using a guitar with the BFTS, and I saw a Twitter post from Patrice from years ago showing an early prototype of a compensated nut. I had assumed for a while that Vigiers are not compensated, but seeing that post makes me wonder if they actually are! I have no idea how the intonation is on a Vigier, and I'm about 900 miles from the nearest Vigier dealer in the United States.
Thanks in advance!
