  • Jackson USA KV2 Floyd Rose to Kahler bridge conversion?

    Anyone here ever converted their Floyd to a Kahler bridge? I'm thinking of getting it done to my KV2 (because I've outgrown Floyd's and want a regular trem)

            Very cool rework, but it's not quite representative: your guitar is a SD KV so the floyd wasn't recessed i.e. it had the correct neck angle for a kahler. The KV2 doesn't so Chug would need to recess the kahler, and I have no idea how viable that is..
            Popular is not the same as good
            Rare is not the same as valuable
            Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

              You're right, I just got told the same by my guitar tech :-( would anyone be interested in trading for a KV1? My KV2 has been owned since new, it's been very well looked after and it's been PLEK'd too so it plays like a dream. It has active Seymour Duncan Blackouts. But I'm not a Floyd Rose guy. The Floyd Rose is just something I "put up with". I'm sick of setting them up because it interferes with my creativity. I'll trade my KV2 and a Phil Demmel pro (the top of the line signature pro model, not the PDX version) for a KV1 with a Kahler bridge. I'm based in the UK so meet in person and do a switcheroo would be better (I don't think I could afford to ship two guitars overseas so close to Christmas)
