Wilkinson Strat Tremolo/Trem System WV6
Wilkinson Vintage Style 6 Saddle
Fits USA 2-3/16” Standard Spacing
For Use in Standard US Fender Strats with 1-3/4” Body Thickness
~~~~~~~~~~PRODUCT DESCRIPTION~~~~~~~~~~
The Wilkinson WV6 5+1 Trem System improves upon a classic design with new appointments to the standard vintage tremolo. This steel block trem provides the unsurpassed tone transfer of a six-screw pivot system with the smooth fulcrum action of a two-pivot set-up.
Features start with a vintage correct steel baseplate and unique 5+1 hole pattern. One hole is used to locate the vibrato laterally in the traditional way, keeping the bridge positioned properly. The five remaining elongated knife-edge slot holes reduce or eliminate the chance of screws binding in the holes. This ingenious design provides a smooth return-to-zero, getting back-in-tune functionality in the original position like no other.
Specially designed bent steel saddles for vintage tone and performance stamped "Wilkinson-Wilkinson" transfer string energy very efficiently. The staggered string-hole block pattern produces a consistent angle over the saddles and increases tuning stability. With improvements to the saddle-to-ball length ratio, intonation is a breeze and increased sustain lets your notes ring through.
This trem uses the “pop-in” or “push-on” style arm featuring a tension adjustment on the back of the block (behind the trem arm pole). An allen wrench adjustment screw adjusts tightness of the bar. Some people like it loose and some like it super-tight so this feature allows customization according to your personal preference. Find your sweet spot in the range between stiff and swinging arm.
