Wilkinson Guitar Parts

Wilkinson Guitar Parts

High performance, low cost guitar and bass hardware designed by the UK’s leading guitar guru – Trevor Wilkinson.

Wilkinson brings many years of expertise and engineering knowledge to a new range of guitar and bass hardware.
 
These new designs may be LOW in price but they are BIG on features and function.
 
Wilkinson guitar and bass hardware was established 20 years ago in California and its simple, functional, user friendly designs have become "standards of the industry". They are demanded by professional players and discerning guitar companies around the world.
 
This new range pays homage to the more ‘traditional’ styles of the past but, by utilising many of the features of the unique Wilkinson designs, we feel that they are unsurpassed in tone, style and function. Extra special attention has been paid to all key areas of the
manufacturing process.
 
Whether you are building a ‘vintage style’ instrument or a new ‘cutting edge design’ guitar or bass, you will find the answer to your
hardware choice here in this comprehensive catalogue.
Wilkinson parts are fitted as standard on Electric & Bass guitars. 

Single Coil Pickups

Wilkinson Single Coil Pickup

WVSN Neck – £19.99

WVSM Middle – £19.99      WVSB Bridge – £19.99

A very accurate replica of a 60's style pickup.
 
Staggered polepieces with chamfered Alnico V magnets. Chamfering the polepieces focuses the magnetic field giving good highs but still allowing some mids to come through to stop the pickup sounding thin. Middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity. Bridge pickup
is slightly overwound for better balance.

Wilkinson Single Coil Pickup

WHSN Neck – £24.99 

WHSM Middle – £24.99      WHSB Bridge – £24.99

Higher output version of the WVS.
 
Non-staggered flat polepieces, ideal if you use a lot of effects. Featuring Alnico V magnets, the WHS pickups are rich in harmonics and natural sustain.  Neck and middle pickups make the best choice for balance if you are running a Humbucker in the bridge position on your guitar. Bridge pickup slightly overwound for better balance.

Wilkinson Single Coil Pickup

WVTN Neck (covered) – £19.99      WVTB Bridge (covered)– £19.99

A matched pair of early 60's voiced pickups. This classic combination has been used for the last 40 years to create all styles of music from Country to Rock, Blues and even Jazz. Bridge pickup has raised polepieces for that extra bite.
Humbucking Pickups

Wilkinson Humbucking Pickup

WHHBN Neck – £19.99      WHHBB Bridge – £19.99

Open coil style Humbucker with a higher output than the WVC. Harmonically rich with tight lower frequency response. Special windings with ceramic magnets give good highs without sounding thin.  Nickel silver backing plates complete this high quality pickup.

Wilkinson Humbucking Pickup

WVHZN Neck – £24.99      WVHZB Bridge – £24.99

Whilst the original spec for Humbucker bobbins was black, a shortage of these items on the production line in the 1950’s resulted in bobbins being sourced in "virgin" material (ivory coloured plastic), hence when guitarists started to remove their brass covers, they discovered that some guitars contained what have become known as "Zebra pickups". Some people believe these are the best sounding humbuckers ever. I just think they look great, and by using the same windings as our WVC pickup, they are as authentic sounding as anything currently available.

Wilkinson Humbucking Pickup

WVCNCR Neck (chrome) – £39.99      WVCBCR Bridge (chrome) – £39.99
WVCNGD
Neck (gold) – £41.99      WVCBGD Bridge (gold) – £41.99

WVC

Since its introduction in 1954, this classic design is the most copied guitar vibrato bridge ever. 
The design is so simple and eminently usable it is a challenge to improve on it, but improve it we did!
Faithfully reproducing the size and weight of the original, this is a direct retro-fit for the "real thing" but with the added benefit of a push-in vibrato arm (rather than the troublesome original screw-in type).
We also staggered the string holes in the sustain block allowing the strings to follow the natural intonation line of the saddles, keeping the strings' "angle of attack" over the saddle's intonation point more consistent, eliminating annoying string "hang-up" giving unrivalled tuning stability.
Completing the assembly are the bent steel saddles built from the same gauge steel as the originals to retain the "vintage sparkle" that this bridge has become famous for.

WVC SB

All the features of the WVC with the added benefit of a SOLID STEEL sustain block, a feature never before available in a vibrato bridge at this price point.

WV2CR Chrome – £21.99
WV2SBCR
Steel Block – £24.99

WV2
Two pivot screws are considered by some to give a better fulcrum action than the six screw "classic design". If this is your choice then this is the "vintage" bridge for you. This bridge is supplied with pivot posts that utilise inserts to give them the structural stability needed when only two fulcrum posts are used. Adjustable for height, this bridge can be "Floated" above the guitar body for ultra smooth vibrato effects. Push-in vibrato arm, vintage spec bent steel saddles and "stagger drilled" block are all featured on this model.

WV2 SB

Same specifications as the WV2 but with a SOLID STEEL sustain block.

WV6SBCR
Steel Block – £24.99

WV6
Providing a bridge which offered the unsurpassed "tone transfer" of a
6-screw pivot system but with the smooth fulcrum action of a 2 pivot set-up was a challenge we could not resist.
By utilising the unique Wilkinson "5+1" knife-edges it is now possible. One hole to locate the vibrato laterally whilst the remaining 5 elongated slots eliminate the chance of screws binding in the holes, resulting in a "return to original position" second to none! Push-in vibrato arm, vintage spec bent steel saddles, and "stagger drilled" block are also included on this model.

WVPCR Chrome – £27.99
WVPGD
Gold – £31.99
WVPCSBCR
Steel Block – £31.99

WVPC
A modern twist on the classic design. Ultra smooth under a player's hand, with a sleek, low-profile surround restricting the sideways movement of the SOLID STAINLESS STEEL saddles, the WVP range of vibratos is the ultimate in comfort and performance. Ideally suited to more contemporary guitar designs, this family of bridges looks far more expensive than it is.
Features include a stamped steel "heat hardened" top plate with
6-screw pivot mounting. Push-in arm and Wilkinson design
"stagger-drilled" block for unrivalled tuning stability.
WVPC SB
A solid steel sustain block creates the ultimate WVPC bridge.

Push-in vibrato arm, stainless steel saddles, and "stagger drilled" block make this an ideal upgrade for your old vintage bridge.

Solid stainless steel saddles. Push-in arm and Wilkinson design stagger-drilled block for unrivalled tuning stability.
A truly ultra modern look with classic values.
WVP SB
The only way to improve on the WVP is to add a sustain block made from steel. This feature has never been available before at a price as low as this. A real professional piece of guitar hardware.

Ideally suited to modern guitar designs, this bridge features a tension-adjustable push-in vibrato arm and Wilkinson design stagger-drilled STEEL BLOCK for unrivalled tone and tuning stability.
WVS6
Solid steel CNC MACHINED top plate with "Wilkinson 5+1" knife edge designed to retro-fit "American Vintage" spacing guitars from 1954 onwards – with no modification whatsoever. This unique knife delivers the best "return to zero" of any vintage style 6-screw system.
Featuring SOLID STAINLESS STEEL saddles, the WVS6 vibrato offers more benefits over conventional 6 screw bridges, including a push-in tension-adjustable vibrato arm and Wilkinson design
stagger-drilled STEEL BLOCK for unrivalled tone and tuning stability.

WTBCR Chrome – £19.99

WTB
This classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years and is still regarded as the ultimate "Tone machine". Now with the staggered brass saddles, we have achieved individual string intonation never before available in a design of this type. The baseplate is a faithful reproduction of the original and is steel – this is very important in a bridge of this style due to the effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it.

Chrome – Left hand – £9.99


WBBC
This bass guitar bridge is a perfect example of the saying, "less is more". Authentic barrel-style brass saddles mounted on the correct gauge bent steel baseplate creates the perfect reproduction vintage bass bridge, as fitted to the original instruments. Whether you are looking to replace your existing bridge or creating a handmade instrument, this should be your first choice for "classic tone".

GTBCR Chrome – £14.99        GTBLCR Aluminium – £17.99
GTB
This style of "wrap-over" guitar bridge/tailpiece combination has seen a resurgence of popularity in the last few years.
Its appeal and sound quality lie in the simplicity of the original design. However, individual string intonation left a little to be desired. Now with the addition of a movable G and B saddle, many different string gauges can be perfectly tuned to make your guitar sound even better.
