Caliber 5065

Handcrafted Tone

Wilkinson’s R series Caliber 5065 WVT utilises all the knowledge we have garnered from producing pickups for over two decades, the Caliber 5065 WVT is the perfect neck pickup to complement either of our R series T style bridge pickups.

Under the nickel silver cover are Alnico V magnets that are clear lacquer dipped and air dried before being wound with plain enamel AWG43 gauge wire, wax potted, wiring is vintage style with push back cotton to round out the classic vibe.

A clear and full bodied sounding pickup the Caliber 5065 WVT is very balanced in tone, ideal for country, blues or rock styles, a great all rounder with vintage vibe.

R Series Creation

Trev Wilkinson’s induction into music was through the tones of what we now call iconic or legendary players, the sounds these artists produced inspired Trev’s playing and also his future in music.

While Hank Marvin’s use of vibrato peaked the young inventor’s interest in a device that would become such an integral part of the Wilkinson brand, the tone and sound created by Clapton, Beck, Green and other influential players was a massive influence as were the instruments and components that created these tones.

The R series of pickups is the result of years of listening to pickups, time spent with legendary inventors such as Seth Lover and Leo Fender discussing all aspects about sound, materials and production methods, add these ingredients to hours and hours of testing and tweaking and you have the R series, our finest pickups.
