Wilkinson website

I found this website awhile ago.

http://www.jinhomusic.com/wilkinson/wilkinson.html

It looks like they are made in Korea. I have a couple of sets and have been satisfied with them.

Wilkinson has been around since the eighties. Reputable. Innovative designs, mostly bridges and trems. Less successful at promoting them than others. The original roller nut design was theirs.

I believe the current website is currently down for work. But here's some links to other informative sites with some good info about who Trev Wilkinson is.

The Wilkinson parts I've encountered might not have been cutting edge boutique quality items, but solid, well made, very functional and excellent value for the money spent.

It look like wilkinson makes a variety of good product for not only bass but also guitars and for a very affordable price. Thank to all of you for the info and links, it was really helpful, it was a lot of good info on the links. I was surprise on all the different product. I would think that would of been a well know product in the USA, but it locks like wilkinson is much bigger company over in Europe.

there's wilkinson and then there's wilkinson. the original products were top-notch, and the later gotoh-made versions are very nicely made.

these days, the jin ho stuff is pretty cheap, and it shows. i'd look elsewhere.
