Vigier Guitars

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  !

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 ? Thanks

<t>Hi - I got hold of the TGI straplocks - am just using the buttons - and the Vigier bolts fit thru them fine<br/> <br/> They are sold in UK - not sure about elsewhere - and are half the price of the schallers - the part of the lock which goes on the strap doesn&apos;t look to be as good quality as ...

<t>Has anyone tried TGI straplocks? <br/> They are half the price of Schallers ( not sure if metal quality / strength is as good)- and they fit the Vigier bolts<br/> <br/> I was just going to order a pair for my GV Wood - but as its quite a heavy axe - I wanted to see if anyone had any experience ...

Thanks to World Guitars - I had a very productive trip to their fantastic store yesterday

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

Thanks

Any change of a sneak peek photo?

Any news on this? Or is Patrice keeping it top secret?

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

Nice - wonder if I can get there - and wonder what is meant by "Special Edition"
Let&apos;s see if Patrice or Ben can comment

Ben - any ideas which models yourself/ToneWorld will have at the show this weekend?
Thanks - Steve

Yep  - have known Gary , Rick  (and also Dave ) for  few years - great guys, great new store
 

<r>I have checked and they are bolts <E>:-)</E><br/> I seem to remember my dealer (Sounds Great ) popping the strap locks on when I bought it - so not surprised they knew exactly what they were doing and used straplocks that * the bolts.<br/> You can&apos;t beat a knowledgeable dealer <E>:-)</E><br ...

Bought in July 1011, think she was built November 2010 ( she is sat with a friend at present so can&apos;t check)

<t>Sheeyit - I didn&apos;t know about this - I have better get my schallers taken off my Lane Signature and get them drilled out for the bolt - I hopefully I till have the bolts and the schaller screws haven&apos;t done any damage<br/> Ben - could you make this a sticky pls on the forum and let ...

If that doesn&apos;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&apos;s a shame steve - you sure it wasn&apos;t just that one ?
May be worth looking out for another  - or try a GV Rock ?

Great news - hopeits all sorted OK

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)

I hope all works out OK - I was sorely tempted by that very axe myself at WG when I saw it online.
I&apos;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&apos;s advice (Vigier customer service is exceptional as always)
Hope the dealer isn&apos;t too far away for you

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?)

You could maybe invest in an skb case insteadThey are waterproof - and pretty much bombproof

I&apos;m guessing its the wood in the neck shrinking in the winter? The carbon fibre strip won&apos;t move.

Ben - I can only agree - although I use a Classic - rather than a 101BThe only thing better than an Ecstasy ....is 2 of them !
