Wow, I don't know if there are different quality levels in their product line, but I have never experienced any of those problems. I can promise you those things won't be an issue. It's by far my favorite trem system.

Nope. Not gonna do it.

Looks pretty cool to me. The case is a little too George Thorogood looking for my taste.

The case is ugly. Fortunately for most guitarists, so are they. Hence the attraction.

 

[12Pack]

Wouldn't pull the trigger on that.

 

[Chad]

What if i screw a tort guard to the front of the case?

Not even tort can save that

I'm surprised you had a bad experience, they have been nothing short of rock solid for me.

I had a crappy Wilkinson on a Godin I used to own.

I've found out since that Wilkinson 50's (V50? VS50?) were a crappy Wilkinson that won't stay in tune, and the 100 series is the 'good' Wilkinson that is rock solid.

Mine probably had the 50 series

Interesting to note too, that Carvin, and now Kiesel, still use the crappy 50 series Wilkinson, even though their comminty over on their forums have been saying for years now that the 100 series is a much better bridge unit. You would think that a company would use the better bridge if their customer wants it, but whatever...

Like it, just not enough to care.

Makes sense, I just checked all of my Reverend's are v100's.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Bleh.

 

[Dudeman1967]

OK guitar
less than OK case

 

[Lerxst]

meh

Looks like you'll have to bring one of your Wilkinson equipped guitars to the barn for Howie to try.

I've got an original 2-point Wilkinson trem from about 18 years ago and it's never failed or done anything strange. It's in my parts bin now though, because I put the stock Strat bridge back in.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

Nice guitar. Cool case.

Indeed. I’ve seen Reeves Gabriel’s do unmentionable things to them and not go out of tune.

 

[LeftyTom]

If the finish matched the case......

It stayed in tune just fine. But every other piece tried to rattle out of it. Did not instill confidence.
