Can anyone explain to me the difference(s) between the Wilkinson/GOTOH VS-100N and the VSVG (and I ran into references to a VS400 too..,)?
All I can seem to scare up is measurements of the models, but nothing 'comparative' that explains what the differences are. I know the VSVG costs a little more, so it *ought* to be better in some way, or maybe it's different enough that it just costs more to make? No idea.
I also can't find out if there's a chronological order; which model was first, and then which were subsequent to that one. I'd hate to buy model "x", only later to find out that model "y" was created to address issues with model "x."
I'm also wide open to opinions on trems in general; toying with a partscaster build, and I've owned enough Strats to know I don't like 'stock' trems from Fender. They're also the only trems I've used, so I don't know much about the other options, other than that they were intended to be improvements on a theme over Fender's original. I don't do lots of "strings slack" dives, but I do like to use it for heavy, slow trem at times, and my current one is so bad that I'm considering just decking the thing so I can stay in tune.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
