USA Production Series Appreciation Thread

[Chief_CrazyTalk]

I've been an import (Model series) fan for years, and with as good as my plain jane Model 1 is, never thought I'd spend the dough necessary for a US Charvel.

Now, with these Production Series Charvels - especially that white strat - well, I see one of these in my future. They seem like killer guitars. Thank you Charvel.

Amen brother! I love kahlers! I'd put my model 6 with the kahler up against any guitar!

How about a Kahler appreciation thread????

Well then.... I will have to gracefully bow out

I don't have one yet, so I can only appreciate from afar, but I want one of the white ones so bad my teeth hurt.

Me too

Get your own thread going about those....things. Preferably in the bottom forums where no one goes

Definitely an ace axe, but I can't say I'm too fond of the neck pickup choice. The trem is holding up superbly, and I've had mine since July last year when they first came out.

Best Trem Ever Designed.
Would take that over a floyd on any guitar.
Wish Charvel would put out 1 model with them.

And it's just damn sexy, too.

Eeew... Kahler


As a matter of fact, I'm quite intrigued at this point. Maybe they're worth checking out after all.

I always loved how the reinforced area of the strings would just saw through the roller cam as you moved the bar and create sharp grooves that would break your strings. Then you got to use emery cloth in them to smooth them out so they wouldn't break strings. Than your strings would saw through them again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Then the tone issue was subjective but I greatly preferred Floyds.

Plus the Floyds felt more like you were connected to the guitar and you could feel the note change as you moved the bar like you were mechanically changing the pitch. The Kahlers always felt disassociated from the guitar when you were using them, like you were electronically changing the pitch. They felt more like the pitch bend wheel on a keyboard than a piece that was connected to the guitar.

Firstly, your welcome to all the Kahlers in the world, I've got one on my 84 Pointy and wish it was a Floyd!!

Back to the production Charvel's, first is my own San Dimas Style 1 in Slime Green and the others have all come through my shop (well, my Boss' shop anyway!!). I shall eventually, modify my Greenie with Bareknuckles and a genuine German Floyd.







Other Productions...

I had a Kahler on a Les Paul copy many eons ago and while it was better for getting slide effects than a Floyd, that was about all it was good for. The Behind-the-nut-locking-nut thing defeated the purpose entirely, and the ball-cup thing meant that deep dives caused your strings to pop out of the cup.

Not to mention it had entirely too many moving/jointed parts.
