Wilkinson® 5+1 Hole Steel Block Tremolo
The Wilkinson® WV6 series provides the unsurpassed "tone transfer" of a six screw pivot system with the smooth fulcrum action of a two pivot set up. With the unique 5+1 pattern one hole is used to locate the vibrato laterally while the five remaining elongated slots eliminate the chance of screws binding in the holes. The result is a tremolo that returns to the original position like no other.

Wilkinson 5+1 Hole Steel Block Tremolo
5.0
Review By D O'Donnell
Wilkinson Strat bridge upgrade.
Trev Wilkinson kinda nailed it on this one.
As a replacement, it’s a huge improvement in sound transfer, sustain and eliminating tuning issues over a regular vintage style tremolo, especially ones with a pot metal block.
The staggered string holes make a positive difference also. A lot less string breakage issues over the original design. The 5+1 screw mounting arrangement makes a big difference in making sure the bridge returns to pitch.
The whole bridge feels smoother and a lot more responsive to ones playing style.
Great upgrade, highly recommended.
