Re: The Wilkinson VS100N Rocks!
Nice! I have that same trem (in black too) on a guitar and it really is just the best non-locking trem I've tried. I have a bladerunner that I think could give the Wilkinson a run for its money if it got a better nut, but the Wilkinson really just is that good either way.

Re: The Wilkinson VS100N Rocks!
Do you have to replace the studs on an Am. Std. strat, or route anything from the trem cavity to make it fit, or can it just drop right in?
In the reviews, I've read about the installation not being so simple in many cases.

I've done it both ways. On the Lonestar I replaced the studs, on my 50's Classic Player, I just dropped the VS50 onto the existing studs and pillars. FWIW, the Wilkinson pillars do not fit on the Fender studs.

I installed a set of Gotoh mini locking tuners. The VS100 was a straight drop in. I replaced the stock pillars with the Gotoh ones. They fit into the original studs. The humbucker is indeed a JB. The original trem was ok, but I was constantly having to retune. With the Gotoh, I tuned maybe once every three songs at practice last night. Which is about how often I retune most of my guitars. It's a great unit that has made this guitar even more enjoyable to play.
