<r>I may be wrong, but I'm pretty confident the setup is like described here (Variant HSH4) <a target="_blank" href="https://schaller.info/en/megaswitch-e">https://schaller.info/en...

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?

yuri1973

<r>What is preventing you to set the saddle parallel? worn out screws? stuck screws? I'd definitely address that to put it back in parallel. Remove the problematic saddle if needed, lubricate/clean* the screws so you can adjust the saddle as designed. *You can use WD40, ...

<r><QUOTE author="Bucketbot"><s>[quote="Bucketbot"]</s> Thanks for the reply. Wood shims or metal washers are a great idea. Being that normally the pickups are in complete contact with the wood of the body. That would continue to transfer the vibrations from the body. I'm not really s...

yuri1973

<r>My two cents with a few options: - penny washers (cheap & easy to get) - plastic/silicone tubes (some pickups bring them). Example here (uncut): <a target="_blank" href="https://www.stewmac.com/Pickups_and_Electronics/Pickup_Kits_and_Parts/Pickup_Kits_and_Parts_for_Str...

For what it's worth, my amber finish GV Wood is #102. I haven't removed the neck though, so no idea which date may be stamped.

There's another amber GV Wood in Madrid (another owner), which is #101.

well done! great looking axe, congrats again !

you'll be amazed how long it stays in tune, and how resonant it is once you put fresh strings on her.

Happy NGD !!

BTW, no pics, no guitar :-)

You'll surely enjoy your axe ...

Vigier team, seen the latest trends, looks like building a headless model could be worth the investment, don't you think so? I would really die for a lightweight, neck-through, 90/10, headless Vigier, phenowood board, SS frets, zero fret. Chambered body maybe like the la...

<r>my suggestions would be (in sequence): 1) place a piece of foam behind the nut in order to dampen the pinging sound (that's for free. at a cost, buy the Vigier dampener, a Gruvgear fretwrap, etc...) 2) if you're not happy enough with the result of step 1, try sanding/po...

yuri1973

<r>you can set tremolo as you wish, floating OR resting on body (which is the factory default i believe). both options are OK, it's perfectly normal to use it floating to either dive or pull (as you say, it has the disadvantage of going out of tune if one string breaks). to hav...

I suspect he meant drilling the schaller strap/pin button, in order to allow the original «vigier» * to fit and be reused.... leaving untouched the guitar insert & *

<r>Patrice, I belueve you could get away all Vigier owners (and many luthiers) from these frustrations and pain rather easily, or just to save time and make the Vigier owner's family a much happier one. Upload on a FAQ section a series of pics/diagrams of the non-standard thing...
