WVS54 modern

The quest for the ultimate vintage Strat tone lies in the past as well as the present. The Wilkinson WVS54 vibrato is exactly this, a combination of past and present…and now with the WVS54-modern...future.

The Past is everything that Trevor Wilkinson learned from his time with Leo Fender, questioning, listening, and understanding what made Leo’s vibratos tick. Which were the correct materials used and the methods of manufacture, as all have an impact on the tone.

The Present is in the ability to reproduce time and time again a unit that is of stunning quality.

The Future is the addition of the WLS130 Locking saddles…creating an all new combination.

Unlike any other locking saddles available today, the string is locked directly at the intonation point where the string leaves the saddle. It’s so simple yet so elegant.

Saddles are steel and heat-treated for zero wear at the intonation point, they adjust like
any traditional saddle for intonation and string height adjustment.

String your guitar as normal, tune it up, give the vibrato a couple of dives to even out the string tension, re-tune and lock the hold-down screw with a snug fit.

Everything is in this unit to create the tonal magic that gave birth to a legend!!
