WHAT IS THE WILKINSON HOMEPAGE??

I spent 15 minutes looking and maybe it's just me but I can't find the bloody homepage :yell: SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT!

Anyway moving on. What makes Wilkies so good?

Re: Wilkinson bridge question...

I've looked and never found one.

they're well designed, sound warm, and are stable

.... thanks.... lol dammit I just couldn't find the page... and awhile back when I went looking for the Kahler page, I couldn't find THAT either, and when I did it looked like it was made by a 10 year old.

Re: Wilkinson bridge question...

well, the Wilkinson's made by Gotoh, but I don't believe that will help you find a web page.

Re: Wilkinson bridge question...

I never found one either... But, by reading the info and descriptions of it on both the Warmoth site and Stew-Mac site you can get a pretty good idea of the specs.

They are very well made bridges and are stable as Curly said. Add some locking tuners and you've got a very stable setup that'll stay in tune even after some tremolo abuse.

Re: Wilkinson bridge question...

I had the same problem and found that Wilkinson went out of business years ago. Wilkinson currently licenses their design to Gotoh (and perhaps others).

This site has a nice rundown of the models:

After using one I'll never go back to floyd rose. They are easier to tune up and change strings on also.

crap, i was on their website like yesterday, now I can't find it.
