Difference between 2011 and 2022 GV Wood

Hi,

Would a vigier GV wood from 13/5/2011 come with stainless steel frets? 

Is it compatible with the currently available new segmented zero frets and removable nuts on the parts site?
 
I’m also curious if it would have that LockNeck feature Patrice posted on twitter? Any other differences (other than cosmetic) from modern GV wood?

They are identical excepted the Lockneck. You can use the current parts.
Installing the Lockneck afterward, NO, almost impossible.

Thanks Patrice, 

I did order the current segmented zero frets and they did not fit on my guitar (see my other thread) Could you please let me know if I should instead order the single zero fret in medium or jumbo? I can’t tell which size is on my guitar: 

In case it helps here’s a pic of the frets. Serial number is 0149.

You then should enlarge the top of the slot; with 0,9mm deepness 1,5 mm
