Wilkinson Tremolo Tuning Stability

[Szar]

Ordering a custom Carvin and I have all the specs down, but I want a trem on there, just for shits a giggles. I don't like the Floyd, so I thought about throwing a Wilkinson trem on there. How's the tuning stability on those bad boys? The nut will be graphite and headstock equipped with Sperzel Locking tuners. Any info would be helpful.

i have the Wilkinson VS100 in my Charvel (with Sperzel locking tuners and a bone nut) - no tuning issues whatsoever, BUT it's not the tremolo for big divebombs or Dimebag squeals. it works great for some good vibrato

I`ve got an almost identical set up: Jackson PC-3 with a Wilkinson, bone nut and Planet Waves locking tuners. I have mine set up floating and I can do most of the Satriani/Vai stuff (except the crazy dives and whammy melodies) without going out of tune. The key is having the guitar set up right.

Is that a Koa body? Nice!

Carvin has got this one pretty well dialed in. You shouldn't have any tuning problems. I have 2 Carvins with the Wilkinson and never have issues.
