It's the cheaper version without the adjustable saddles (at least I think it is  :oops:)

It's easy to tell - the Gotoh one says "Wilkinson by Gotoh":



I love these bridges - work really well

Just checked - it is adjustable but is Wilkinson by Sung Il. I'm assuming a cheapo version of the Wilkinson by Gotoh? I think it's pretty decent and better than the stock bridge that the guitar came with. PErhaps I'll try for something more up market although this may be a waste if I think it does the job for me.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Yeah, as far as I know Sung Il make the cheaper (but still very decent) Wilkinson stuff, like you find on Vintage guitars.  It's a Korean company but I believe they also have factories in China.

Callaham stuff is good - I've got a Strat bridge and a Tele one, and a couple of other bits.  It is pricey though.

(Needless to say, they're not actually in use....  :wink: )

You are too funny Phil

The Tele knobs are great!  Callaham make great stuff....

Sold my Callaham bridge and got a Glendale, for more twang.  Got stainless steel saddles but then replaced the D/G and B/E for Wilkinson Brass ones as I had too much twang!  Now it's just right.

The callaham gives a fuller, fatter tone, it's not night and day difference but it's noticeable.
I like them both.  Fender ones are good too though...
