How low can the action be set?

Hello,
I am looking into getting a GV wood or a fixed bridge Indus.  I play with low action of 1/32 inch, which is 0.7938 mm, at the last fret on the high E (measured from the top of the fret to bottom of the string)and slightly higher on the the low E.
Can the bridges of these models be set up that low?  I can set my Les Pauls, Anderson Bulldogs and several other guitars this low.
Thanks,
Korey

It is not possible due to the fingerboard radius. When you will bend the E string, you may dump the note if you bend too much.
The only model from us that allow this is the Excalibur Shawn Lane.

Hi Patrice, I found a metric ruler and remeasured my action at the last frets. Can the fixed bridge Indus or GV Wood be set at 1mm on the high and low E at the last fret? Thanks, Korey

You can set the bridge at a low action and the guitar will play well if you do not bend the strings.
Note that because of the fact that the fingerboard has a radius you will not be able to bend the string too much.
This is true on a Vigier or on any guitars. The only way to have  low action and be able to bend is to have a flat fingerboard, like on the Excalibur Shawn Lane.
