Thanks for your comment and for your compliment about my english. Accent is unavoidable, but I've been to english school for sooooo many years and did so much homework lol. Yes, Wilkinson should pay me, lol.
Good post bud. This shows exactly what i wanted to see. And the pivot poles drill right into the 2 outer screw holes on the 6 screw bridge. exactly what I thought, but you can't get a straight answer from anyone about that.
Thanks for your comment. I didn't know where to drill, so I measured and calculated everything. If I had that information before, I'd had started that way.
Muito obrigado for posting this in English! It seems impossible to find any official Wilkinson installation instructions for this Trem. I'm installing into an "SE" edition Squier Strat which is supposed to have the same dimensions as a regular strat so I'm hoping it will line up okay. I'm going to do a flush mount though or slightly floated so I won't have to rout the body. In the U.S. we say "fingernail polish" for finger paint.
Thanks for your comment. You should be fine, since this bridge is very flexible and has individual saddles heights. The key is making a good template. Thanks for the "fingernail polish", too.
I had an issue on an Harley Benton with one of these Trems where I couldn’t get the action I wanted because the bridge would then sit on the body of the guitar. I put in a couple shims on the neck and then I was able to raise the height of the bridge to pull back a full step and I thankfully did not have to mod the body and risk the paint chipping since it is a nice metallic finish.
@@LuthieriadeBanheiro hey bro nice guitar an thanks for your video of this in English cause I could not find one on this tremolo. An the correct way to say it in English is Finger nail polish just for u to have the info. But we’ll said so we did understand it either way
I would love to have a vegatrem in my guitar but it's too expensive. This is way cheaper than vegatrem. I'm plunning to buy one, I hope this will do the work
I buy the Wilkinson wvs and the pin don't line up with the Strat holes.if I try to drill next to the Strat whole it will become twice the sz what the fffff do I do .and no one on UA-cam is Demo this
I had this trem on a Strat. Cheap and it stays in tune. It's baffling that guitarists pay over a hundred dollars for a Hipshot trem and this is dirt cheap and works every time. Thanks for the video and I plan on buying another Wilkinson for my Mex Strat.
Thanks for your comment, sorry I took so long. Well, I would check on the wilkinson website because they have the official measures and you can check on your particular model.
Good set of instructions Question,how do you intonate with there being no spring loaded screws ? Now I understand..intonate it as you would a Floyd Rose bridge. Thanks
Thanks for your comment, sorry I took so long. Well, I would check on the wilkinson website because they have the official measures and you can check on your particular model. I made my template out of that.

Vejo muitas reclamações de problemas de afinação dessas pontes, vc usa algum método específico para afina-lá? Explica como vc faz na sua pra gente, vlwww
Hi! nice Job! I have a question, what model this trem is? Wilkinson/Gotoh VS100 N or Wilkinson WVS 50 iiK? Because of the color of the pivots (gold) it seems to me that is a WVS 50 IIK trem bridge.
Muito bom! Tenho uma tagima strato JA3 (do juninho afram) e a ponte tem esse problema de desafinar muito, além de ter enferrujado muito rápido, pensando em trocar por este modelo que vi no aliexpress.
Bacana o vídeo, comprei uma dessa devido o espaçamento entre as cordas ser de 10,5 mm e outros modelos Wilkinson by Gotoh serem 10,8 e a alavanca ser encaixada e não rosqueada.
@@LuthieriadeBanheiro One more thing brother...I use cort x1 Can I install this bridge in this guitar..the guitar has mexican strat hole spacing i.e 2 1/16"
I've been hunting all over youtube for a video like this and I think I even saw the original one in Portuguese so thank you for making it in english!
Oh, thanks for your comment. Glad I could help.
Crazy how well that thing holds the tuning - I think I am sold! Thanks for this👍
Thanks for your comment!
Fabio, Wilkinson should pay you for your great video! There are no other videos like yours anywhere. Your English is excellent!

Brother!! Your English is GREAT! Much better than my Portuguese!!
Obrigado!
Thanks for your comment!
Now THATS how you do a tuning stability test of a vibrato system!! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for your comment. You see the thing can stand in tune somewhat, doesn't it.
I will be installing the exact same tremolo on my guitar today, so your video was very helpful to me. Also, your English is very good !!!
Thanks for your comment!
Great job, I liked the use of the drill guide. About to drill some holes for a two point trem, gonna steal the idea. Thank you!!!
Thanks for your comment
Great video, thank you for making an English version!
Thanks for your comment!
My danelectro 84 came with that Wilkinson and I love it! Installing a a custom build now
Thanks for your comment!
thank you for the video! Do you have a video showing how you intonate each string with this type of bridge?
Thanks for your comment. I don't, but it's really easy to intonate this bridge, you should not have any problem.

How U conect the write side of the bar there is no lip like the left site.there nothing there to hold the screw
There is! It's like a blade
Hello Sir, I've got one simple quiestion: Can the saddle be moved left and right or only forward and backward?
Only forward and backwards, that means you need to get the direction right.
@@LuthieriadeBanheiro thank you for answering, greetings from Poland!!! 👍
How does this stand up to the Vegatrem??? I really like this design
Idon't know this bridge, man, sorry
I would love to have a vegatrem in my guitar but it's too expensive. This is way cheaper than vegatrem. I'm plunning to buy one, I hope this will do the work
Top cara, obrigado por compartilhar. Tenho esta ponte numa guitarra e não foi feita a cavidade. Agora vou levar em outro luthier para fazer isso.
Obrigado pelo comentário. A cavidade é opcional. Acabei fazendo pelo desafio. Ah, esse vídeo tem a versão em português.
just what i want to see, thanks for the video....
Thanks for your comment!
Same here
I buy one of these and they keeps braking strings on the bridge
how to find out where to drill the holes for the two studs ? Are they in the same distance from the nut as the original 6 holes??
Well, thanks for your comment. Finding the holes it's the whole job, actually.
Thanks for posting , great job ..
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video! I was going to buy this tremolo but if it requires routing is not an option for me. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. You can let it sitting in the body, too. It means: no need to rout.
I barely saw WVS 50, that answers my question.
Thanks!

Thanks your comment. Yeah, this is pretty good. Here in Brazil more fancy stuff come at exorbitant prices, so we have to be creative.
Josh, where did you buy the Wilkinson for your Mexican strat? I need the same one for my contemporary squire. Thanks
@@tonakkie635 I think this one will do on any strat, just check string spacing!
@@LuthieriadeBanheiro My pivot/screw spacing is 63mm. That's normally 55mm i think
@@tonakkie635 oh, this one is 53mm between strings. I just measured it. 57~58 between pivots
Will a whammy bar for a Wilkinson vs100 fit a vs50 trem
Thanks for your comment, sorry I took so long. Well, I would check on the wilkinson website because they have the official measures and you can check on your particular model.
Is the bar threaded where it attaches to the Wilkinson WVS50IIK bridge?
No, it's not threaded!
hi. what size is the tremolo arm? im looking for a replacement
is it easy to intonate compared to the regular 6 point trem?
It's the same!
did you set up the intonation?
Good set of instructions
Question,how do you intonate with there being no spring loaded screws ?
Now I understand..intonate it as you would a Floyd Rose bridge.
Thanks
Seems that you found your answer... indeed, this bridge is simple and effective and easy!
can you share a link of the template your printed
Thanks for your comment, sorry I took so long. Well, I would check on the wilkinson website because they have the official measures and you can check on your particular model. I made my template out of that.
Can you Try dime squeal?
Thank you, kind Sir!!!!
Thanks for your comment.
Are you using locking tuners and roller nut?
Only locking tuners
thanks for the video! how does this bridge holds so far?
Thanks, the bridge is doing fine!

Thanks for your comment. Just saw you found the answer. Anyway, the installing process is the same.
Is the vs50Ii? Stay tune to use? Hablo español
@@emgaldo1783 tenho esse vídeo em português, se ajudar...
Nicely done👍. Difficult to find the right brigde for my Contemporary Squire without wobbling tremolo arm...also hate that 😒
Good luck on your search!
@@LuthieriadeBanheiroI ordered yesterday the Wilkinson WVS 50K, tomorrow i will get it. 😜. 50 eu, so reasonable price
What string gauge did you use? I use 11-48, I'm thinking if it needs different springs than the original! Great job btw!
I use 10s. To go for 11s you'll just need to increase the spring tension a bit. No big deal.
I will try this like you do
Good luck! Spend a good time making the template.
would this fit a squier strat? im looking for a cheap alternative to a floyd
Just check string spacing, but I'm sure it does.

You need a Fender LSR roller nut so you won't have any friction and you'll get better sustain.
Good idea to be added to my wish list
