Love mine.

Putting one on my Hotrod too. Very very nice smooth action. My only slight gripe with it is the trem arm. I bent mine to shape to suit my requirements and the way it fits to the block isn't the best. Make sure you tighten that grubscrew at the back of the tremblock to suit the arm, before you fit the trem.
You'll have a great inexpensive trem that will take your string spacing up to 56mm.

I used my Callaham upgrade block as a paperweight after I put the Wilkinson on.

Everything about it is right from the staggered break angle to the flat machining of the top of the block.

As I said previous my only gripe with it is the American Deluxe style grub screw. Make sure you get the trem arm fitting sorted before you fit the trem and that is not a issue though.

@nikininja - Most of my strats have the two-point trem. Have you tried the Wilkinson/Gotoh VS-100N Tremolo?

I haven't mate. How does it compare to a Fender 2 point?

Reason I haven't tried it is I don't like the Fender 2point trem, so any guitars I have with a 2point, the trem gets blocked off.

I have not tried it... thought perhaps you had.
