It does have the bolt at the back. The one on top is just to lock it down in place after you set the intonation and action.I wish it had the intonation screw in the plane of the body (adjust from back of saddle) rather than orthogonal to the body (tighten / loosen from top of saddle). I find the top adjust style difficult to adjust precisely and very difficult to adjust under string tension. Otherwise, it looks nice.
I have many Wilkinson trems on some of my favorite Carvin guitars . Was looking at this as an upgrade... Not sure now....lots of unknowns and obstacles .. Worth a look. Not what I was hoping to see.
The post width issues are entirely of Warmoth's own making . NOBODY else drills the position on the treble side stud in that position, the whole point of the open treble side knife edge was to accommodate small differences as long as the bass side was correct. The VS100 fits perfectly on the 510 and fender two post position, but the 510 won't go on the WARMOTH VS100 stud position because WARMOTH moved it across the open knife. if you have a two post Fender all three will fit directly on the fender posts and the Gotoh posts fit directly in the hold that fender drill in to the body. This is a problem only on Warmoth bodies.I changed my VS-100 to a Wilkinson Convertible Trem and then to a Gotoh VS .... Ran into some of the stud issues brought up in the video.. Had to epoxy new ones into body ... Just an FYI if doing a full bridge upgrade... There is more to the video than the trem block dimensions .
It's a Wilkinson so I'd guess Gotoh won't/can't sell it...Are these actually available anywhere? I can't find any link on Gotoh's or any other site to order one.
Hey thereAre these actually available anywhere? I can't find any link on Gotoh's or any other site to order one.
I looked there. There's no way to order it that I can find on the Gotoh site.Hey there
In the OP the first thing is a link to the site (if thats whats your looking for)
Cheers
