WTB Vintage spec tremolo...

looking to buy a vintage spec tremolo, gotoh, Fender ABM etc

I've nothing used to offer but I' do have these on sale at the minute, full sized steel block. Vintage saddle spacing. Crazy cheap for the spec.

Bear in mind they have the wider vintage spacing, not the modern spacing.

I’d go for the Wilkinson Vintage every time, steel block and push fit arm and well under £30

thanks for that @streethawk ; and @sweepy The one from amberguitars looks good but what is the build quality like? I would look at the wilkinson but need a 6 hole vintage space trem and cant seem to find one that has the correct vintage spacing

Build quality seems great. Try one and send it back if you don't like it - I'll cover any return post costs.

cool @andy_k let me know what you think..Im guessing it is a cast block not milled..

I've got a Wilkinson VSVG going spare. Maybe a bit vintage 'modern' for you?

Cheers @lebarque looking for a vintage string spacing

@andy_k what do you think of the trem???

andy_k

sorry man, got a bit sidetracked, havent got round to having a good look at it yet--seems exactly as advertised
anything specific you want to know?

krameree

Im trying to figure out the quality of the metal work...its hard to tell but often on cheaper trems the metal can be soft and badly finished esp the plating..
