Wilkinson M-Serie 54 mm (2-1/8 Zoll) Vintage-Style Vollblock-Pop-in-Arm 2-Punkt-ST-Gitarren-Tremolo-Brücke für MIJ/MIK Strat-Style-Elektrische Gitarren

Dies ist ein gutes Tremolo zu einem tollen Preis. Eine kostengünstige Aufrüstung von Squier-Standardteilen. Wenn Sie ein Standard-6-Schrauben-Tremolo haben, nehmen Sie sich Zeit zum Markieren und Bohren der neuen Löcher. Verwenden Sie einen spitzen Bohrer.

Einfach zu installieren, einzige Einschränkung ist, dass die etwas dünneren Import-Korpusse möglicherweise Schwierigkeiten haben, die Gehäuse für die Stifte vollständig aufzunehmen, ohne durch den Gitarrenkorpus zu bohren. Überprüfen Sie daher vor dem Kauf die Tiefen und Größen.

Ich war sofort von der Qualität des Produkts beeindruckt. Es ist schön schwer und scheint von hoher Qualität zu sein. Ich habe es ziemlich schnell installiert und war sehr gespannt, es auszuprobieren. Ich habe immer die Klangqualität und melodische Kontrolle geliebt, die man mit einem gut schwimmenden Tremolo erhält, und dies ist mein erstes Zwei-Punkt-System. Was mich zur negativen Seite bringt. Die Halteschraube, die den Trem-Arm „hält“, ist nicht wirksam. Überhaupt nicht. Ich hatte sie ganz reingedreht, und der Arm hat sich bei der kleinsten Soloeinlage herausgearbeitet. Gar nicht glücklich darüber. Diese Gitarre ist aber mein tägliches Instrument, also habe ich Wärmeisolierrohr am Arm angebracht, um ihn dicker zu machen und ihm genügend Halt zu geben. Genau das wollte ich meinem neuen Tremolo eigentlich nicht antun, aber ich hatte weder die Zeit noch die Geduld, es zurückzuschicken, und ich hatte gerade zwei RIESIGE Löcher in die Gitarre gebohrt, sodass ein Rückbau auf das 6-Schrauben-System unmöglich ist. Wenn Sie überlegen, auf ein Zwei-Punkt-System umzusteigen, bereue ich es aufgrund dieser Erfahrung jeden Tag. Aktualisierung: Seitdem ich dieses Problem entdeckt habe, versuche ich, Musiclily zu kontaktieren, aber sie haben meine Versuche nie anerkannt. Ich bin ein wiederkehrender Kunde (gewohnheitsmäßig), aber das wird sich jetzt ändern.

I am very pleased with the unit I received and I expect it to work well for me.The tremolo I received matched the photos and most of the measurements given in the diagram, with one significant exception: the block is not a "short" (36 mm), it is a full depth (40-41mm). This was not a problem for me, but it differs from the product description and may stick out a mm or two when installed in a thinner Squier body. Also, the diagram appears to show cast saddles, which is incorrect.The block looks almost like steel but is not magnetic. It is polished, heavy and seems to be a quality alloy, not the crappy, soft pot metal you'll find on most Squier blocks.The saddles are bent steel with a matte nickel finish and are seemingly really nice. The pop in arm fits snugly, has an adjustable set screw and seems like it will work very well. The arm tip is smooth without seams and slides on for a snug fit. The posts seem pretty solid, but the claw, claw screws and springs are very lightweight. Two allen wrenches are provided... one for post adjustment and another small one for the arm set screw.The plate is etched "Wilkinson M Series" and saddles are stamped "MVB" but an exact model number is not shown on the tremolo itself. It was packaged with Musiclily cardboard backing with a sticker on the back that reads MX1794CRFBA and Made in China. I believe MX1794 is the basic model number and I suspect CR stands for Chrome (plate) and FBA stands for Full Block Alloy.I am unable to compare exact measurements or quality, but this has very similar features as the Fender American Professional Tremolo (two point, vintage saddles, pop in arm) at less that one fourth the price. There are minor differences... the American Professional appears to have a steel block, a screw on plastic tip for the arm, and better quality claw and springs.I was looking for a functional and affordable option for my current build, since I have less than $200 into the rest of the parts. I was interested in trying a two point system, I prefer vintage looks and bent steel saddles, and I dislike screw in arms, so this one fit my needs nicely. Yes, this bridge comes from Wilkinson's Made in China budget product line, but I feel like I got a really nice tremolo for less than $25.Update: after moderate use, both posts began to fail. They are softer alloy, and deformed enough to cause issues. The Allen screw heads got stripped and the fulcrum edge dug into the side of the post. I replaced the posts and bushings with another Wilkinson set that had higher quality stainless posts and brass bushings. They cost roughly $12, and all is good now.

I am highly discouraged and displeased. The high E saddle stripped out when I was intonating the high E string. NOTE: I had loosened the string prior to doing this. I never adjust intonation while the string is under full tension. And yet the adjustment screw stripped and the saddle kept springing forwards. I had to grab one of my old leftover cheapo Chinese strat bridges and replace that saddle and screw, and now I have a mismatch.I put too much work into preparing the body and installing the bridge to take it out now and send it back for refund. However now I worry about the strength and integrity of those remaining saddles and screws. I hope that Wilkinson has not lowered themselves to using substandard steel and cheap imported screws for their components, and I hope that this one saddle is indeed a "one-off" and that the other saddles will hold their adjustment and not give way.I am just really disappointed. I have used Wilkinson products in the past and have always been impressed and trusting of their quality. Not so much now.
