How do you like the bridge? Is it the Gotoh version?
It's the Wilkinson IIK 2, so a more budget version. It's good other than it being a bit more of a pain to intonate. Tonally if seems a bit darker than what I'm used to and the tension feels slightly higher. It's just different overall. I need to put more hours in with it though.

The VS50k mk 2 is one of the best budget bridges available and you are right about the tone . I don’t find it higher tension than the Gotoh version myself but it depends what you’re comparing it too . Good though, I fit them all the time .

Yeah, the higher tension thing could possibly just be in my head. The fit and finish is very nice and comfortable on the palm.
 
I put a Callaham bridge block and bent steel saddles on my American Standard. It brought out that top end snap that that one has been missing.

The springs also don’t ring when you hit a Bb. That always drove me batty. It’s a good mod and actually does make a difference.

Oh, that’s their short bar as well. I like a little more resistance and the shorter lever is perfect. I’m really not used to a bar that stays where you left it. It only moves if you move it.
