Members -Assy- Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 Don't bother with the Hybrids, they are crap. I've tried them on three different occasions. if you really want a Kahler, buy an old Peavey with one, they will cost you around 150 dollars, a Kahler tremolo will cost you around 300. Ironic.

Members drvr6177 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well the kahler im looking at is gonna cost me around 100 bucks i'm looking at that vs buying a new guitar with a trem i'm leaning at puting it on the viper to start and seeing how the guitar isn't worth that much it would be no real loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 yeah and youre going to look at about 150-200 bucks to get it routed and installed, plus the behind-the-nut locks hardly work, so you will just be going out of tune regardless. And yes, they require routing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lenduffy Posted January 3, 2010 Members Share Posted January 3, 2010 My '83 Les Paul Standard came stock w/ a Kahler 2300. I removed the nut lock and keep the nut slots lubricated and it works flawlessly. I did buy some higher tension springs for the cam lever so it wouldn't be so floppy. I've got several other guitars w/ Kahlers as well. That being said...a FR is a more efficient system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you can rest your palm as hard as you want on the Kahler without changing the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Peavey in the 90's for $150 to get a replacement neck. I liked it and kept it all intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jtr654 Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 Kahler aren't that good they went out of business in the 80's because they weren't a good of a choice compared to a Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
