If I had to guess, I'd say Gotoh 510. It's a 2 point for sure. I only know because I follow Echopark Guitars on IG. Gabe made a couple custom guitar for him. Every trem guitar is rocking that Gotoh. They look great, but extremely pricey.

Re: Ever seen a Gibson Les Paul with a Wilkinson trem system?
I saw a Aerosmith concert on VH1 a couple of years ago and it completely knocked me on my ass. I had bought into the Joe Perry mystique about what a great player he was, but after watching that concert I wasn't a believer anymore. Brad played a strat with noiseless pickup throughout the entire show with his Marshall stack and it was strong, loud, beefy and articulate the entire time. I never once saw him retune or change guitars. Meanhwhile Joe changed guitars and amps every song and it was a muffled, sloppy mess. It seemed to me like a huge bag full of clubs for a piss poor game.

Yup. Brand Whitford is a far superior guitarist, *and* has far superior tone. Joe Perry is, and always has been a damned mediocre mess. It's kind of like Malcolm and Angus (though Angus has more chops and far more personality than Joe). What I mean is that Malcolm is easily the best musician of the two, but it's Angus everyone knows and loves.
I am not a huge fan or anything, but I happen to have the factory prototype for a potential G&L Brad Whitford signature model that never came to be. It is a Legacy ("Strat") with a sugar pine body *and* neck. Only one ever made, and a *very* awesome guitar. It is the most mean and aggressive sounding vintage-style Strat I have ever owned (plus it is beautiful and lightweight).
