2 Post Trem Question

[McCreed]

I've seen some Wilkinson 2-point trems quoted as fitting 53mm to 63mm post spacing, but I don't see how that's physically possible.

I've seen those and wondered the same thing. Glad it's not just me. I feel better knowing you find it a head-scratcher too Simon.

I'm still thinking the 6 screw trem might be better. Just have to clamp in the neck and see how high the saddles need to be.

By "better" do you mean installation-wise? If you're referring to performance, two-point is "better" IMO. I'm not huge vibrato player, but my one strat that I have set up for it, is two-point. All my vintage-style (6 screw) vibratos are decked/blocked.

That's what I'm thinking McCreed. Easier to install. I might end up selling this guitar so don't want to spend to much on it. I can't fit that rubbish trem that came with the kit...it's junk.

I can't see any local suppliers in Aus that have a cheaper 2 post trem, only 6 hole. Plenty in China though but a month wait.
