This is the higher quality made in Korea (MIK) version from Sung Il (who make Tonepros and Gotoh stuff), NOT the Chinese copies!
This trem (vibrato) is a “universal fit”. Elongated holes mean the trem will fit on a body drilled anywhere from 54mm (2 1/8”) right up to 56.4mm. And as usual, the WV6 sports the narrower string spacing at 54mm (2 1/8”) found on most Wilkinson trems.
The narrower spacing gives a much more stable string lie across the neck, limiting the possibilities of the E strings slipping off the frets, a great little touch for anyone who likes their hammer ons and pull offs.
All in all, this really is a great tremolo. Flawless construction, innovative design and very competitively priced.
Kit includes:-
- “Wilkinson” bridge vibrato unit, with steel sustain block and vintage-correct bent steel saddles
- Vibrato arm ("whammy bar")
- 3 tremolo springs
- 1 spring claw
- Colour matched mounting screws
