It doesn't work!

1) I posted that 1 year ago
2) It still works

Here the manual -> https://www.vigierguitars.com/medias/do ... arilyn.pdf

You just need to turn the post screws (use the biggest screwdriver you can to avoid damaging / chipping the posts, it'll help to loose strings to remove the tension).

anyone?

Hello, as can be seen in the Vigier parts shop, the bearing support parts are available for repair/replacement. https://www.parts.vigierguitars.com/en/bridges/202-vigier_parts_bearing_support_for_non_locking_vigier_vibrato.html Can someone at Vigier explain how these parts are replaced / assembled ...

according to info i've seen:

Sous les sillets il y a des points
Sillet 1 point ==> 9-42 à 9-46	1 dot = gauge 9-42 to 9-46
Sillet 2 points ==> 10-46 à 10-52	2 dots = gauge 10-52
Sillet 3 points ==> 12-56 et +	3 dots = gauge 12-56

There's one in reverb from this shop, but in Australia ...

Well ... that surprises me a bit. I would definitely assume that it would come with a wound 3rd out of the factory.
I just took a look at google images of surfreters, and all of them seem to have a wound 3rd.
 

Specs state this:
Strings : .012-.052

So unless it's a custom/special order with a different preference, I suppose that's what came out of the factory, and with the nut slots adjusted for that gauge

p.s. great fretless playing! kudos to you

Looks legit to me. Seems you're right though, and the volume knob has changed position over the years on the Experts, here you can see a 2007 expert with exactly the same position (to my eyes), so seems 100% original and not a mod: https://reverb.com/item/49076527-vigier-expert-retro-54 Then the RR ...

Hi, surely your luthier will quickly determine what the issue is. About your original question, I believe it's fair to assume the neck will not move in normal circumstances, but of course it's not perfect science, as wood can react over time for various reasons (or maybe because it was just a random ...

Hi,

your new guitar is perfect and as expected to be. Only Customs/Originals have that accessory. All other Excaliburs don't have that holder.

Hi there, my two cents here .... 1) Kahler nut ... if I recall correctly, early Excalliburs had both Kahler floyds (with the bearings mod) and nuts. Then I believe for some time Kahler nuts stayed and the bridge was replaced with a Schaller made floyd, I've seen those. So, I may be wrong but my bet ...

I don't see why not, there's 25.5 scale 7 string guitars out there .... Using the Kaos, with a 12-54 set, you get 90lbs tension in that tuning you mention. In that example, it's a bit floppier on the bass strings than usual, so maybe low strings could go a bit heavier gauge. Anyway, you can ...

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty confident the setup is like described here (Variant HSH4)

some close up pics may also give some hints ...
are both screws of that saddle touching the tremolo base, or is the saddle "one-leg" like a pirate?
