Wilkinson WVB Vibrato System
WILKINSON WVC TREMOLO SYSTEM
Since its introduction in 1954, this classic
design is the most copied guitar vibrato bridge
ever. The design is so simple and eminently usable
it is a challenge to improve on it, but improve
it we did!
Faithfully reproducing the size and weight
of the original, this is a direct retro-fit
for the "real thing" but with the
added benefit of a push-in vibrato arm (rather
than the troublesome original screw-in type).
We also staggered the string holes in the
sustain block allowing the strings to follow
the natural intonation line of the saddles,
keeping the strings' "angle of attack"
over the saddle's intonation point more consistent,
eliminating annoying string "hang-up"
giving unrivalled tuning stability.
Completing the assembly are the bent steel
saddles built from the same gauge steel as
the originals to retain the "vintage
sparkle" that this bridge has become
famous for.
