I do prefer the look of the prs unit though.
Wudtone PRS LR (LESS REDUCTION), now available
PRS make some world class set neck guitars and discerning customers expect the best very tone. Paul Reed Smith himself, often talks about reduction when discussing guitars and their essential components. The PRS “rules of tone” would seem to suggest, less reduction = better guitar. At Wudtone we absolutely agree and this trem upgrade is all about less reduction.
The Wudtone PRS LR takes the proven Wudtone Constant Pivot design and applies it to the potential of a world class PRS guitar. This represents a very exciting opportunity for PRS guitar owners. Essentially, tone chasing PRS owners can now enjoy a fuller tone, with more dynamic response, detail, clarity. They will be able to wring more out of each held note and for longer.

The 1st gen plates,( as per the original Leo Fender patent) with a flat top surface only pivot by loosening the fixings (this allows the plate to slide up and down the fixings). This type of plate provides a desirable tone but causes tuning to be unstable.
2nd gen plates ( e.g. as per 70s patent , eg Fender 2 post, PRS grooved screw, and Ernie Ball Luke) use indentations in the fixings ( 2 or 6) so 'float' above the guitar body. Stable but the tone generated by guitars using these bridge plates is considered to be inferior to the vintage plates.
The Wudtone (Patent GB1314545.3) overcomes the problems of the two types of plate described above. It provides stable operation and a desirable tone through the use of: recesses formed around the fixings on the top side of the bridge plate; an arc on the underside of the bridge plate to ensure constant contact with the guitar body.
Also is it a good direct replacement?
