Tremolo - Wilkinson by Gotoh, VSVG, Vintage
Colors Available:
If you are looking for a tremolo that is designed for enhanced sustain and better reliability, then you have found it. The VSVG Vintage tremolo features enlongated baseplate holes so the screws won't bind and it gives a very smooth, accurate return to pitch. With the string mounting holes being staggered in the steel block you will find much more tuning stability because of the more consistent string angle over the adjustable locking bent-steel saddles. Hardware included.
