Wudtone CP/Holy Grail Strat Trem Yes or No?

What's Hot

I'm thinking of a trem upgrade on my K-Line strat. I've been pondering over the Wudtone's
Can anyone recommend any others? I've looked at Gotoh, ABM, Super-Vee and Callaham? I'm currently using a vintage styled WVC Wilkinson which needs replacing. Importantly I'd prefer the 54mm String spacing as I don't want to change the feel of the guitar as it plays so nicely at the moment.

    Yes, although I'd go for the vintage look one, the original looks a bit clunky.

    I really like my Hipshot one, in the narrow spacing, but is quite modern-looking. Great baseplate, no saddle wear, sintered block with push-fit arm.

    Gotoh certainly make a number of different bridges with 54mm spacing.  Callaham only do the wide vintage spacing or 52.5mm.  I haven't tried any of the others.

    Wudtone trems are the nuts ! I used to be really conflicted because whilst I really love the super fluid action of a two point trem I would have to concede that they just don't sound as good as a vintage six screw type trem.
    I personally feel that the Wudtone gives you nearly all the fluid functionality of a two post but with the 'proper' vintage trem sound
