If my Diezel Herbert was working, I'd post soundclips.
The humbucker sounds awesome! Even when splitted!
The singlecoils deliveres sweet vaughn tones! I love the boatneck and the wilkinson is a big contrast to the floyd rose on my candy tangerine! The guitar bleeds sustain!

This guitar delivered faaaar beyond expectation!
Happy x-mas to myself!

Fantastic!!
is this your first Wilkie guitar?? if so what do ya think? did you get the recess?
If I remember correctly, you have a floyd on that orange strat, right?

I used to be a floyd or hardtail only guy and the wilkinson was a bit of an eye opener for me..

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Thanks!

Yes, this is my first wilkie
I like it, but I have to get a nutjob (talking bout the guitar now  :laughing7: )

It's not recessed, but it's still floating. I set it to raise a whole note when pulled backwards.
When I get the nut fixed for the 0.11 strings, and get it lubed up (still talking bout the guitar  :laughing7: ), it'll be awesome!

Heard lots of great stuff about the wilkinson!

 

[m4rk0]

cool! I am sure you will love it!
I know its not a substitute for the floyd, but the Wilky/locking tuners/graphite (or lsr) nut combination is a damn good alternative!!

I built a strat for a friend who plays uhm well really rough,... he used to have a love/hate relationship with floyds since he hated stringing them. he now loves using the wilky and dives and pulls up like a madman, and gigs it... with no backup!!

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Cool!
I have noticed that the wilkinson provides more sustain than the floyd rose. No wonder, since the floyd is like a eff'in humvee melted down to a tremolobridge.
