rumors about new jacksons with...

[slaytalera]

ive heard rumors about new jacksons coming out with Kahler bridges, is this true? if the rumor is true are they going to be hard tail or trems?

[GWARGHOUL]

...I hope and pray..

More likely sounds like someone starting a BS rumor, in the hopes of it generating a "buzz" so that Jackson will entertain the idea. But all it really does is obnoxiously rehash their personal wish that has little realistic chance of coming true, and make people on this Board read it over and over again in multiple threads. They need to just let it go and/or order themselves a custom shop axe w/Kahler.

It's unlikely to happen and, IIRC, official Jackson reps have even posted so on this Board.

Technically you can get jacksons with kahlers, production models not just cs ones, looko at the STARS Range you'll find plenty of kahlered jacko's.

There was a thread with the jakcson rep dude who posts here, poor dude :p and it was a would you like to see kahlers on usa selects thing mostly it was naye, I think perhaps there should be an option with a $200 upcharge perhaps.....

Allthough if you absolutely msut have one ther are jacksons available, that is if you can live without the jackson usa logo....

Like I said before, just buy an amp with bad tone if you want bad tone. Don't leave it up to us.

It's a joke dude. The reality is there are guys here that swear by Kahlers, yet, in the Custom Shop world - where people can pick their bridge - 1 out of maybe 300 will be for a Kahler. I know there's a few guys here, but that's not enough to justify a production model. There's really not much interest in Kahlers. The reputation is that they suck tone, and that's not necessarily my opinion, that's just the reputation. Speedloaders are cool, but nobody wants them either.

[Sanctuary]

Suck tone? That's what a Floyd does with that huge swimming-pool route. I've never had a Kahler that's been anything other than resonant... But yes, I see your point. No reason why it couldn't happen in the future (it's happened on the Charvel imports). Just not right now.

[Hellraiser6502]

Personally, I don't know if they suck tone....Kahlers just plain SUCK.

[Sinistas]

Kahler not being around for a while probably subtracts some custom shop orders, I'd imagine.

[McD]

You could be right. I'm not sure what the reason is, I mean, I know why I don't like them. But the reality is that, except for the occassional guy, guitarists just aren't asking for them. Believe me, if there was legitimate demand they'd be on more guitars.
