Trev Wilkinson Hardware Like all Vintage guitars the V100MR features Trev Wilkinson-designed hardware built on years of industry experience. The tune-o-matic bridge provides a stable platform for your strings to sit along with optimum string vibration transfer to the body. The bridge is complemented with Wilkinson Deluxe WJ01 tuners providing a smooth action for quick and stable tuning. A graphite nut assists with tuning by providing a friction-free platform for the strings to pass over when bending strings and tuning. The mis-matched volume and tone controls are reminiscent of a vintage guitar that has had its parts lost and replaced helping to enhance the classic guitar aesthetic. Wilkinson Humbucking Pickups The V100MR is loaded with Wilkinson WVVZ humbuckers which provide a vintage-inspired tone that is perfect for the nuances of blues and classic rock.
