Sleek and comfortable the VSV400 combines elements from both the classic VS100N vibrato and the innovative VSVG vibrato to create a contemporary design that sounds and feels amazing.
The VSV400 utilises the classic VS100N stainless steel saddle, famous for comfortable feel and versatility, the saddles are locked down onto our unique 5+1 hardened base plate. Developed for the VSVG Vibrato, five elongated holes and one standard hole replace the vintage six screw style mounting holes; this unique method removes the tuning issues created by mounting screw misalignment and mounting screws binding on the knife edge.
The VSV400’s steel sustain block utilises the stagger drill pattern developed by Trev Wilkinson for the VSVG vibrato, this unique string hole pattern allows every string to have a more consistent angle over the intonation point of each saddle which greatly aids tuning stability.
Tuning stability is further aided by deep drilling the sustain block where each strings anchor point is deeper in the block than a vintage style vibrato, this process means less string windings are held in the block than a vintage unit so less room for the string to stretch, and greater stability without sacrificing tone or sustain.
The push in vibrato arm completes the VSV400 unit, this slides into a delrin sleeve inserted into the sustain block, with rear block tension adjustment for perfect feel.
The VSV400 is also available in three other variants that utilise Wilkinson unique innovations
