Wilkinson trem?

[Soonerred23]

Hey, I'm about to order myself a carvin! And I'm not sure if I want to get it with a trem or not. I've noticed they're like the prs trems and in my experience prs trems are kind of hit or miss. How about Wilkinson's? Give me y'alls opinions!

I dont mind the Wilkinson by gotoh stuff. I think just the wilkinson stuff is a average/good. I would go the hardtail, I wish my carvin was one :9:

I have had a few different Gotoh/Wilkinson vibrato bridges and they are IMO fantastic. The VS100 is the best non-locking bridge I've used.

Ditto that. I've got two VS100's and a VS50. If you can go with the VS100, I'd heartily recommend you do.

Re: Wilkinson trem?

Are the carvin trems the same as the vs100 or vs50 or is it a lower quality trem?

Re: Wilkinson trem?

I've only looked at this one, but this looks like it's equipped with a VS50. It doesn't appear to have the locking trem posts my VS100's have.

Can't hurt to get in touch with them and ask whether they can also do the VS100 though.
