The WVS54 is another part of the puzzle, and one that Trev Wilkinson has been determined to create to be as close as possible to the original in both material’s and production methods. “Short cuts were not an option when we started this project”.
Helped greatly in the creation of the WVS54 was the time Trev spent with one of the true legends of the electric guitar, Leo Fender.
As Trev recalls, “I spent a lot of time talking to Leo about his invention, Leo was very open about all the aspects of the vibrato from construction methods to materials used within its build, as you can imagine talking with Leo was an inspiring and wonderful experience for me”.
