Greetings,
What is the "best" 2pt non locking trem system these days? It seems the ones that get the most buzz are the Wilkenson VS100 and various flavors of the Gotoh 510's. Also, the non fine tuner Floyd Rose.
At least from the perspective of options available through Warmoth, it seems the difference is the availability of a semi recessed route for the Wilkenson. I understand Warmoth now routes for the NFT Floyd, but is a recessed route available for it?
I believe, the Gotoh has developed a string locking system in the saddle, that is rumored to be available as an upgrade at some point. The 510 has the 1/16th string spacing option. Does the VS100? Assuming good nut and locking tuners, between the Wilkenson and 510, is one better is staying in tune than the other. How is the feel? Can one dive bomb? Any advantages for either?
Are there other options I'm missing? Is the Fender 2pt good?
