Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilkinson trem is a solid performer, but lacks the ultra-smooth feel and precise adjustment of high-end systems. It's a reliable workhorse, though, and easily serviceable.
They punch above their weight class – the HAF series are surprisingly well-voiced and have a good amount of output, but lack the nuanced complexity of some premium pickups.
The 'Modern C' is generally comfortable, but it's on the slimmer side; players with very large hands might find it a little too thin, though the 42mm nut width offers some breathing room.
