Available as replacement saddles too! I am a very very happy person now. I'm a huge fan of Wilkinson hardware.
@CHL9136 Good question. Probably best to send an email to Wilkinson and ask.
dont buy them they cost an arm and a leg and they break strings, screws strip just a nightmare , never again :(
@@johnwade3476 Sounds like you were clamping them too hard.
Switching from briefs to boxers also eliminates locking nuts.
Interesting looking product. Might check it out :)
Hahahaaa👏✌
Commando style, because it's cruel to cage up a wild animal!
I seriously hate it when that happens.
installed one in my 94 usa strat 6 months ago and hands down the best trem ive ever used. takes the best of all worlds, smoothness of a PRS trem and stability of a full Floyd trem when used with locking tuners. Amazing job Trevor :)
What is the model name? Where did you get yours? I can't find it anywhere:(
Love the Wilkinson pickups! Trevor helped guitarists find a brand that is of good quality, but with decent prices. Thanks Trevor!
Adapting to the customers needs 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Walter 😃
I just got the new locking saddles and they are great! Thanks for this video Henning
Nice!!!!
I saw the Pete Thorn video where he showed off this bridge..
I have two strats that await being built (A Seafoam Green "Traditional" SSS, and a Daphne with mixed pickups). I haven't made a move to build them yet because Ive been waiting for this bridge to come out.
Now, IB happy! Both of my new Strats are getting one.
Trevor is great! Creative designer with stuff that works really well
Trev is the man. His bridges adorn a few of my guitars - I need to look into those saddle replacements so I can wobble with confidence again..! :-)
Can't wait for the Vintage 6 screw version or the saddles to be sold separately, its the last spot on my guitar that has tuning issues. Thanks for the vid!
Nice, love the sound of your bridges, I've resorted to blocking mine off with a small piece of the appropriate size computer component material "Gap Pad". It works perfect for banging the he'll out of it and still getting a resonant tight frequency for recording. But that sounds great for live apps, since live I've got no problem floating.
Dude is saying what I’ve said all along: “Henning tells it straight regardless of situation...he’s also ridiculously humble about how good at guitar he is”. That is all. Love you, ya nutty German badass.
-Aaron
He has no tact and insensitive because he is so busy trying to be funny
@@bluwng German humor in a nutshell and I love it.
@@Traumglanz I’ve been to Germany and know lots of Germans and had customers in Germany. It’s not a German thing, this guy is obnoxious and his focus is on himself that is why he is oblivious. The reason he is popular is that we live in a generation of selfish clowns. All these behaviors have been prophesied in scripture. The world is falling apart and you are so busy being entertained you can’t see it.
I love that "Walking Through Genetic Space" is the end-card song! 🥰
Metal thingy in the video is also not bad...
Cool beans. My two post Stratocaster that has locking tuners and a compensated nut will be getting a new bridge.
He has good stuff to say. He executes to reality said good stuff! Thank you sir!
I have a Wilkinson VS100 Convertible (discontinued :( which is an amazing locking trem. Thank you mister Wilkinson. I will surely try this one aswel!
i like my brass bridge plate , so i'm glad the saddles alone could be replaced
I really like trev hes always so friendly and kind
I am getting one for sure
I just got my first Harley-Benton CST-24 with Wilkinson Tremolo and would appreciate an instruction video on those. From the case my tremolo touches the body, especially on thin E-string side. I put the outer springs straight and loosened the spring screws and it helps a bit. But it’s strange there aren’t any instructions to get?
someone should do a comparison with this trem and the vintage schaller one with the roller saddles, I don't really like it that you still have to clamp it down in the back
The Wilkey is brilliant. Putting on locking tuners and a Graph-tech nut are not very expensive and you do not have to carve up your guitar. Count me in!
Somebody actually trying to innovate and make guitars better. Love ya bro!
Looks interesting. Can't find it for sale anywhere though.
how about holding an event in your "beloved" southport trev ? ive bought two vintages
I'm a Floyd player but I'm building a guitar right now that the Wilkinson will be perfect for. Looks like a great (vibrato).
Hey how did that work out?
I have a Wilkinson locking trem in my Patrick Eggle from 1994. Still works like a dream. Doesn't work the same way as this one though.
WILKINSON TRIMS AND PICKUPS ARE AWESOME ~~ \M/
I love the end watching the Ferrets. I miss my old Ferret even though he knocked my EP Les Paul over and snapped the neck off, that I later fixed. But I miss him a lot watching this. Damn it, now I have to use the money to go buy another Ferret instead of the bridge.
Trev is the king of less is more. I have a Vintage V6 with his hardware and it's all excellent.
Great idea!!!! Great video!!!! Let´s hope guitarists don´t start the "vintage is better...." thing....Cheers from Portugal!!
Henning, did you receive the saddles? I'd love to see a video with you retrofitting a guitar with them!
nope
I think "The Wilkinson Wibbly Wobbly" should be the brand name.
Screw tone sucking graphite nuts - unless you can get Modulus (good luck). Just have a professionally done bone nut. Great work again Trev. I wish he would bring back his old original roller nut. They were better than an LSR which I have now, I know, I had one. They were brass and the LSR is zinc - big difference. Through the 70's 80's and 90's Trevor had all kinds of clever stuff on the market, not just tremolos. Might have to get some of these.
Great thanks
I love them. Just wish they weren’t always out of stock and available in more colors.
always been a wilkinson fan....
Yeah we all have trouble with one G-string, but not so much with the other one
A quick drop-d is impossible by nature with any floating trem. I like this design, locking the string at the saddle and the tuner with the only binding concern being the nut. Good trade-off for dispensing with the Floyd's fine tuners which I've always hated.
@MarHeNin3ty - Fine. I will restate my original point as a quick drop-d is impossible by nature with any floating trem unless equipped with an aftermarket accessory. :) Tremmory looks cool. Such systems have been around since the 80's but required additional parts to be screwed in the spring cavity. I like that Tremmory just simply replaces a spring. Very smart! Thanks for the heads up.
As I prefer fixed bridges, the video wasnt that awesome as most of your others for me...but as a ferret fan, I feel VERY pleased! :D I love those cute little fur sausages! :D
But can it fit a guitar with rout for FR?
so, is the bridge on sale now ? where to get it ? also what is the model name ?( i think i missed it on the video as english is not my first language)
Personally I like the trem arm to sit IN the sustain block itself.. the little side-pipe system gets loose over time in my experiences so far
Not with the usa made wilkinson’s from the 1990’s. Back then they had a different design for it that doesn’t get loose.
Bart van Schuylenburg I mean.... cool... but the fact that they’re not like that anymore and I couldn’t reliably source ones from the 90s now, I’ll stick with the extended sustain block haha
aleksander i agree. But i still don’t understand why they left the design of the VS100V. It was a genius design that worked with two studs as well as 6 screws and had a better pop-in-arm slot and was made from the hardest steel there is.
My favorite Wilkinson bridges are the WVS models but these saddles won’t work on them.
Since the day I stumbled over this channel I thought was just some cool animal lover guy with a very nice camera searching for his place on youtube , I prayed he would keep at it and over the following months back then hearing him play, holy shit man. Then the icing on the cake is, I am a bit ADHD I suppose and he acts like i did as a teen. Lol. Takes me back to happy times. Fuck fads, followers and copy cat hosts and channels. This is good top shelf stuff. Hats off. Again. I need to come jam with you one day!!! Make vids and see the pups and kitties and all.
When are these available to the public?
It's informative and funny at the same time...
Where can u get that trem? seems that is so hard to find...
From 10:10, the Pete they are talking about, is it Pete Thorn?
You Are Correct Sir! Take note of the published date of video!
ruclips.net/video/E1GwzNJCCAM/видео.html
Floyd Rose has something similar, called the non fine tuner Floyd Rose/ Pretty amazing
Where can I buy this?? I can’t find it anywhere. I’m in the USA
why does the price increase everytime one sells lately on reverb?
Why doesn't Wilkinson sell 2 1/16 string spaced tremolos, aside from the locking one?
Use a good Graphtech or bone nut and keep it slippery and clean and you are in business!
where is the site to buy this
Anyone noticed there's Floyd copies with Wilkinson logo available from a couple of places? Is this anything close to official, or just shameless bootleg? Neither Gotoh nor Sung-il (which is all Wilkinson bridge OEMs I know) have such a thing on their websites.
Even with this drop D is going to throw all other strings out. Well that’s what happens on my Music Man JP15. Silly me thought without a locking but I’d be able to quickly drop D. No luck.
Can someone please tell me the name of the song at the end of the video?
I am waiting for a tremolo system like Floyd rose frx bridge from Wilkinson.
I've contacted Wilkinson Direct for availability of just the saddles but no reply...since this is the only interview with Trev Wilkinson I've come across, I'm gonna try here - are you more informed and up to date with when will they be available again? Thanks!
they seem to be sold out all the time
What the exam model and make?
Are they still available ? What is the product number ?
Out since June 2019 and not available off the shelf at the end of 2020? It is not evident why these are not in the pipeline.
wait, ive had an ibanez sa160 that had a bridge like this
Trevor Wilkinson has my deepest respect... Any chance of a Floyd Rose replacement please?
James LaBrie is awesome at the animals end😉🤘
Wilkinson tremolo are excellent they really have a lot of sustain tuning is simply no issue. Good strong steel very high quality! I bought one installed it myself on guitar that had a fake junk Floyd Rose. Wilkerson locking tremolo double locking.i love Floyd Rose but I'm not in love with all the spin off fakes out there. Wilkenson are just as good. As any locking system out there. Really flashy chrome also and black hardware mixture. It made my hundred and fifty dollar guitar sound like a 600.00 guitar. The stratocaster style tremolo are called a " fulcrum" style tremolo bridge. That Trever Wilkinson really is a great guitar bridge scientist I would have to say.
I agree with you. Brands like Wilkinson, Gotoh etc are really under appreciated.
Keep it up beat great sound kid on the pictups and bridges kind of digital products kind of guy cheers Wilkinson the cat's meow amazing energy to bring a dream come true amazing
Wish he would go interview Mr Bigsby
So it is a non fine tuner floyd rose...
IMHO the Wilkinson VS100 is probably the best 2-point tremolo ever made
I don't know if it is the best, but I have it mounted on my 1994 Washburn Mercury 401 Deluxe and it is like new after all those years. No tuning stability issues and it is still as smooth as it can get.
I concur. 😎 Have it on my Yamaha Pacifica 604W and that thing never goes out of tune.
damn i just bough a floyd rose some weeks ago
I would have expected thumb screws instead of hex screws.
I can't find a place that stocks these online..
Get Them While There HOT! Fresh Batch on sale as of Friday August 16th 2019...Don't Twiddle your Diddle and miss out!

Seems to be a very similar system compared to the Sophia Deluxe Tremolo;

Wonder which one stays the best in tune... . Would love the see a comparing video about this.
Add the links to the saddles (Reverb and Thomann) when they get them up. I found the whole bridge on Reverb as Wilkinson mentioned.reverb.com/item/23457425-wilkinson-wvs1302p-chrome-full-assembly-with-locking-saddles
I make guitars as a hobby. Trevor Wilkinson's products are really really good. I'm not endorsed or getting any kick backs etc etc.
5:34 There is no "let me do a quick drop d" with any truly floating system.
@Common Sense Please elaborate
Advantage Wilkenson. Fender is "forced" to deliver the past and Wilkenson can concentrate on the future. Two point, locking, comfort, tuning stability, and fine metals are all good within their line. Even the six screw/bent model is better than the Fender branded classic, IMO.
Fuck, Floyd roses are such a pain in the ass and they're unergonomic as fuck. I'll always prefer a hardtail or a nice comfortable non locking trem over a damn Floyd and it's locking nut.
"same wrong thing as is with them".... leeet me pull my Wilkinson equipped guitar while I watch your videos Paulenning
I thought Trevor Wilkinson is the founder of TVR cars
Wilkinson has dropped the ball on these. Can't get them. I am making my own soon with some PRS saddles I have.
the way his nut just sits over the top of the string is a no go for me. You want flesh to string contact on the peak of saddle
so.......harley benton upgrade?????? maybee??
How did you miss saying "Clever Trevor"?
What Pete?
Never had any problems with bridges. It’s almost always the nut. I don’t think this bridge will solve anything.
It is actually quite the opposite. Tunning stability problems usually come from the G and low E strings due to them having less tension and shifting over the saddle.
Use this with a graphtech nut vs a fender vintage trem with a locking nut and you will see the results.
131 Daumen hoch, null nach unten. Berechtigt.
Had this idea a few years ago...shouldve acted on it...
2:16 666 in line
Ask Trev Wilkinson why his vibrato systems don't come with instructions and why he doesn't do customer support.
Trevor Wilkinson = Colonel Sanders.... you decide.
"since 1977" " 30 years of innovation " it s mean they stop to innovate 13 years ago ???
or it s 13 years they forget to change the signboard ???
a funny german guy? no way!
I've seen Pete play a C-Major......he's not very good.
Q,you fvcker😂✌
@@blackcountryblues2194 HA!!
Anfang 2020 noch immer in keinem europäischen Shop erhältlich. Meh.
These things suck tried them don't buy them they're an overpriced gimmick
