changing strings on kahlers

[sonicsamurai]

hey new here - just bought a charvel model 4 with a kahler and would like to know how to change strings properly on them as have never used a guitar with any kind of trem (well other than a crappy squier strat trem)before.

Depends on the model of Kahler. Is it the one that looks like this:

If it's the middle one, drop the ball end of the strings into the little pockets, hold them tightly, and then wind the string at the head (or you could wind the string first and leave some room to drop the ball in the pocket just before you tighten it "too much")

If it's the first one that looks like a Floyd Rose, the screws coming out the back end of the saddles hold little blocks against the string inside the saddle, so you have to loosen the screws, insert the string, hold it there while you tighten the screw, then tune the string.

The last one, I have no idea. Never had one.
