wilk trem...what neck radius???

[slashgnr88]

someone please tell me the correct neck radius to use with the wilkinson trem.


  thanks guys!

the combination of wilkinson + compound radius gives me the lowest action EVER!
also note that you can adjust the height of the individual saddles anyway/

Yeah, I don't see how you are drawing any relation between a bridge and the radius of the fingerboard?
Just set the saddles to match whatever radius you have.

Floyd Rose trems are an example of a set radius unless you buy aftermarket shims so I can see why you would wonder. Fortunately, a Wilky has individual string saddles with height adjustments so they can accommodate any neck fingerboard radius.

If each saddle can be adjusted on its own, then u should be fine with any radius just like Gregg said. Wilkinson fits the description, so it should be good...

thanks guys!!

the reason why I was wondering is my floyd is a tad off with the compound radius. (soon to be shimmed) I didnt want to run into the same issue. I have no experience with the wilk.

Can't you file the saddles out to match the radius?

I just have a quick wilkinson question, I figured I would do it here. Can you do those sweet trills with a wilkinson? Like where you just run your hand off the bar and it does that quick trill? Thanks.

you could but I hear that it is alot easier to shim them

I put the Wilkie trem on a 10-16 compound radius and it is fantastic.  adjust the individual heights and you are golden.
