VS400V MODEL

Packed with Wilkinson innovations the VS400V fuses elements from the industry standard VSVG vibrato with our two pivot wave knife edge to create a contemporary design that sounds and feels amazing.

Taking the unique bent steel saddles created for the VSVG vibrato gives the VS400V vintage tone and sparkle with a comfort that no vintage saddle can offer, these saddles neatly lock down onto the two pivot, “Wilkinson Wave” hardened steel base plate, its precision machined knife-edges offering an ultra smooth feel and perfect return to pitch.

STAGGER DRILL PATTERN

The steel sustain block utilises the stagger drill pattern developed by “Trev Wilkinson” for the VSVG vibrato, this unique string hole pattern allows every string to have a more consistent angle over the intonation point of each saddle which greatly aids tuning stability.

Tuning stability is further aided by deep drilling the sustain block where each strings anchor point is deeper in the block than a vintage style vibrato, this process means less string windings are held in the block than a vintage unit so less room for the string to stretch, and greater stability without sacrificing tone or sustain.

The push in vibrato arm completes the VS400V unit, this slides into a delrin sleeve inserted into the sustain block, with rear block tension adjustment for perfect feel.
