I was curious to find out how well the Wilkinson VS100 tremolo, matched up with the LSR roller nut and a set of locking tuners, stays in tune compared to a Floyd Rose setup.

SRV never used a floyd on any of his guitars, Vai and Satch have their own sound, and I've never heard either of them trying to mimic other guitarists' tone. And I've listened ti VH for years and years from begining to now, and his sound hasn't changed much, what changes have occurred were not attributed to Floyd or no Floyd. :doh:stubhead said:My aversion to Floyd Roses is simply based on the fact that when I make up a list of the best-sounding, "Tone God"-type guitarists, no Floyd users show up. Steve Vai and Joe Satriani struggle mightily to sound good - and they do - but compared to Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Julien Kasper, Oz Noy, SRV? You can be sure these guys all wanted to sound their best, and they all tried a Floyd, for Pete's sakes - and rejected it. Van Halen's best-sounding work was pre-Floyd, IMO.

Did you buy 2 sets, 1 gold and 1 black and swap out the posts?
