Wilkinson vs Callaham

[Doughboy]

I'm putting together my next Warmoth build & I'm debating about having the usual Wilkinson VS100 that I have on my strats or going with a Callaham.

Having never heard or played a Callaham system, I was wondering if anyone has these 2 trems & how they'd compare the two tone wise, for staying in tune etc.

I used That Wilky on my builds forever. After getting a Callaham for a client build, i have since switched. I prefer the traditional look and they sound way better IMO.

I have two Callaham units and love them.

How do they sound better & how are they for tuning stability vs the Wilkinson?

I have a Callaham on my EVH Frankenstein clone and it is really, really good at holding tune, even with aggressive bar use. Pretty impressive for a non-locking system…

Here is the guitar with the Callaham playing some VH:

Romeo Delight!
