Going from 6 screw to Wilkinson 2 post trem

[Zaman]

I was thinking if you drill the holes larger on the outer two screw holes to accommodate the posts they'd match up with the Wilkinson knife edges. However, I have a feeling that this would place the bridge slightly too far back towards the end of the guitar. Are you supposed to drill the 2 holes for the post bushings slightly above the 6 screw holes?

Seems like that if you keep the centre, it will work...

Why not use a Wilkinson VSVG trem? It has the same stability as the VS100 but is a 6 screw mount rather than 2 post. I have one and it's awesome!

The idea is to get away from the 6 screw mount, which makes no mechanical sense. The two point fulcrum is by far a better design.

In my humble opinion the VSVG eats all two points fulcrum-thingyes at breakfast.

I've had several - full floating setup - it just works.
