Whats so bad about Kahlers?

Re: Whats so bad about Kahlers?

I had a Parker Fly, and I absolutely hated the trem on it. It never stayed in tune, was a PITA to intonate, and my heavy right hand would constantly knock the strings off the saddles.

Kahlers may have a larger footprint, but they most certainly do not take more space. The amount of wood that is routed out of the guitar for a Floyd is nuts. How many times have you seen someone do a pull up on a Kahler and rip the bridge off the top of the guitar? I've seen TONS of Floyd studs ripped out of tops from whammy abuse.

Why do we get involved in these religious debates? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

As said above, Friedman and Mustaine used Kahlers for a long time. Mustaine's so-so, but Friedman smokes everybody you named.

Yeah, but they used the fixed bridge models. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Kerry King, Brian May, Steve Lynch, Sambora, the guys from Judas Priests, Phil Collen, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and others were all using the fixed bridge? [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

And all of the them are nobody compared to EVH and David lynch... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What's wrong with Kahlers? Nothing! [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Just...some players like them, some others dont'...just a matter of tast, and I think it would be wise to recognize it in order to avoid holy wars on it... [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

I like the Kahler Pro trems a lot, but I'm having a hell of a time finding a replacement Kahler lock nut in Gold. Please PM me if you can help out!

I am talking about the people who are using kahlers, since your point is "since VH and Lynch (from Dokken) weren't using kahlers they are bad tremolos"... [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

Re: Whats so bad about Kahlers?

Re: Whats so bad about Kahlers?

Yeah, almost as wide as a pickup... absolutely huge compared to a Floyd rout... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Whats so bad about Kahlers?

on a side note I was bored so I machined a plate to lock the kahler pros to hartail. I've read a lot of people that have kahlers don't mind them because they don't use the bar.APM 3310's are a bitch to find and there are a lot of kahlered guitars out there. It got me to thinking about blocking mine.

When did I ever say that about VH or Lynch anywhere in this thread?!? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] You need to pay attention more. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It's true, I don't care for Kahlers, but never did I even say it in this thread. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/fart.gif[/img]

Did it this way so you only had to remove the springs, it's an easy bolt in and it's nice and solid ..

<font color="aqua">Absolutely, I wasn't implying anything, just that is what funny that we were fairly close in design. </font>
