String gauge On SL Master

I use 10-52 on all my Vigier guitras (Ultra's, Indus and Expert). I did have the nut cut for this gauge and they play perfect!

Strings snapping on excalibur

This is most strange indeed. All our guitars are covered by a two year warrenty on any manufacturing defects, it may be a good idea to contact your dealer and arrange to have the guitar looked at?

Strings snapping on excalibur

<r>All metals when they rub can become sharp, and yes, I can understand it becoming annoying! You could try replacing the worn saddles with new ones (you can contact a dealer to get a new set from Vigier), or have a look here - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.graphtech.com/string_saver_info.php"...

2010 bridge questions

You should be able to move the saddles back and forth, the Allen screws that holds them in place also let them move to change the intonation.

<r>I have this problem when I use certain brands of strings, usually on the 'D' or 'A' strings though. You may have some sharp fragments on the saddles, you can try running a very fine needle file over them and see if that helps?  <img src="./images/smilies/ex/134.gif"> <br>...

<r>Hi,<br>   We set the bridge with about 1 1/2 step pull back on the trem, if you want to tighten the claw at the back and pull the trem so it sits on the body that is fine. I am not sure what you mean about the saddles as you can adjust the saddles back and forth (for intonation) as well...
