Maximize Your S-style Guitar’s Tremolo Stability
Licensed by Wilkinson and crafted to Gotoh’s immaculate standards, the VSVG merges classic 6-point design with modern tremolo performance. This 6-point tremolo comprises a foundation consisting of bent steel saddles, a steel block, and an in-block tremolo arm holder. Facilitating the best possible tuning stability, the VSVG saddles feature locking screws that clamp down onto the saddle’s assembly to eliminate movement and bolster sustain. To ensure a smooth installation, the VSVG includes the springs, spring holder, assorted screws, hex wrenches, and everything else you need to get your 6-string up and running. And much to the pleasure of Sweetwater’s DIY modders, the Gotoh Wilkinson VSVG can be installed on scores of compatible S-style guitars with no modification required. Take vibrant vibrato inflections and screaming dive-bombs to a whole new level of tuning stability with Gotoh’s top-flight Wilkinson VSVG tremolo unit!
Gotoh: Japan’s leading hardware purveyor since 1960
Founded in 1960, Gotoh reigns as Japan’s perpetual champion of machine head manufacturing. The company’s seeds were planted in 1950 when Masao Gotoh’s research lab began producing strings for violins. Mid-century disruptions in music technology prompted a pivot to guitar hardware, and by 1960, Gotoh was ascendant in the guitar market. Today, dozens of worldwide brands finalize instruments using Gotoh tuners, tailpieces, and beyond, arming players with reliable string performance and impeccable tuning stability. While Gotoh aftermarket parts can be difficult to procure in the United States, Sweetwater’s direct relationship offers an attractively wide range of Gotoh parts. Here, you can also find aesthetics and technical features that fuel your vision, spanning vintage-inspired favorites to modern designs.
