Gotoh Wilkinson, VS100N Tremolo System. The VS100N has become an industry standard that all other trem systems are judged by. They are used by many professional guitar Luthiers and can be found on many of the high-end instruments on the market. Unsurpassed for performance and tuning stability without the need for a mechanics tool kit to change strings! A precision machined hardened steel base plate with stainless steel saddles give years of use and abuse without failing you. ‚ The sustain block is made from zinc diecast. The saddles are locked down to the baseplate, allowing the full transfer of the string vibrations into the whole bridge and increasing sustain. Also includes a stainless steel arm that is held in with a collar allowing for tension adjustment. Mounting posts with body inserts, springs, claw with screws, tremolo arm and allen keys are all included.

Not to be confused with the Wilkinson, budget line - the man himself, Trev Wilkinson, considers the Gotoh, Wilkinson;, units to be his highest quality range.

Please note - this tremolo bridge will retrofit a Fender American Standard Strat with a bit of modification. A small amount of finish and wood needs to be filed off the treble side of the tremolo body route to make way for the round vibrato arm mount that sits under the bridge plate. A small rasp file can be used for this, it takes about 5 minutes and does not show once the bridge has been installed.
