Vigier Guitars

<t>Should have mentioned this is the first official release from GNR (not just video) since the Chinese Democracy album in Nov 2008!!! And as the packaging says first official live concert film since 1992 (although the UYI era&apos;s got re-released on DVD not too many years ago).Not that music DVDs ...

this FINALLY landed on my door mat today!!


Had to import it from US (I&apos;m in UK). Chances of this getting released anywhere else are slim I reckon haha (like anything with GNR!!!!).
 
Features Ron Thal of course playing Vigier on more-or-less every track

<t>Nice one DJ look forward to it.One thing I&apos;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 see the merrit - the thinking being the treble strings will possibly "cut-in ...

<r><QUOTE author="Funkjazzaxe"><s>[quote="Funkjazzaxe"]</s> I&apos;m thinking about making a video in the next couple weeks showing exactly how to do this. One of the most frequent questions I field when I explain the neck situation is "what happens when I change string guage?" the short answer is ...

I don&apos;t think there is a "better" current production singlecut HH style guitar out there right now.

any of you guys tried these out yet?? Any particular thoughts - good/bad/no different to nickel wound??....

<r>Well I didnt get it today but I&apos;ve got a new Vigier guitar and got it setup!!!!! <E>:-)</E> New Vigier Day = NVD. We should all add to this thread everytime we get a new Vigier guitar!<br/> <br/> Here it is - another GV for me - this time it&apos;s the &apos;Metal&apos; varient in the text ...

I have had this job done again (this time black chrome locks):
this can only mean one thing......... (new thread to follow...)

<r><QUOTE author="Qiz"><s>[quote="Qiz"]</s> 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 ...

Yeah it&apos;s a dilemma haha

<r><QUOTE author="Melodic Shred Rocks!"><s>[quote="Melodic Shred Rocks!"]</s> Drop tunings are fine. I play in a half step down dropping the 6th string to C# A# and G# I use 10- 52&apos;s and have a bigger top nut, so the grooves take the larger strings. I&apos;ve put an extra spring in the back so ...

<t>The search is over!!! Hahaha<br/> <br/> Even though it is frustrating when you are looking for a new guitar and you can’t find “the one” there is a little bit of magic in that search/dream.<br/> <br/> Vigier has effectively put an end to me desiring any other guitar now! I now can’t see myself eve ...

<t>I can confirm (so that anyone else searching here knows what works for current Vigier/Schaller specs) that I have used the method described by Ben in the previous reply in this thread and it has worked great.<br/> <br/> The way I saw it the bolt that comes with the Vigier guitar HAS to be used as ...

<t>RE: Ben and joesotd - so 10-52s definitely hold up ok for tunings in the region of "Drop B" or "Drop C" for you guys???? And I&apos;m not talking about &apos;standard&apos; tuning with the low E tuned down only (some people refer to these tunings in the literal sense like that) - I&apos;m talking ...

<r>Also just looking back about what you said about Bumble (I&apos;m a very big GNR fan) - your not wrong in assuming there is a lot more at play here - his (incredible) technique/playing style and other gear all play a big part in his sound. You will be able to find pro-shot vids on youtube from ...

<t>Hey man. See my thoughts/reviews I just posted in the thread entitled "thank you" My main setup (until yesterday haha!) is a Gibson LP Standard 2003 through a Marshall JVM410H and 1960A cab. I tend to ride the lows (bass and resonance) at high levels and my treble and presence very low and mid ...

The full leather looks great. I&apos;ve just got the all black Levy up and running with chrome Schaller locks - looks awesome too with the GV

<r>...for making the GV! <E>:-)</E><br/> <br/> I feel the need to say thank you to Patrice and ALL at Vigier simply because the work Vigier does is incredible. For the first time last night I played my new GV Rock with the band at rehearsals and it&apos;s just incredible (had only played in shop/at ...

I&apos;ve seen loads of pics from namm but missed these. Anyone got a link?? Just bought quite a slick levy strap for my GV too...

Great to hear - good/hourable techs are really hard to come by in some parts of the UK!What were you getting done?
