    Floyd Rose vs. Kahler on older US Charvel/Jacksons

    I wanted to solicit opinions regarding older US Charvels/Jacksons set up with either the Kahler or Floyd Rose.

    What are the main sonic differences and what pluses and minuses do each system have?

    Would you consider cutting up a guitar to replace the Kahler with a Floyd Rose?

      Floyds can flutter better, have a deeper range in pull ups/downs, and they stay in tune better.

        The Kahler is great for subtle vibrato and anything but the most extreme tremolo use. It's a nice bridge.

        I prefer the Floyd, but there's no way in hell I'd cut up a vintage Jackson with a Kahler to put one in it.

        I'd consider putting the Kahler flat-mount bridge in place of the Kahler, and removing the string lock before I'd do that.

          I'll chime in as soon as I get my Model 4 restored...

            Which Kahler? I love my Killer 2700. My flat mount is being restored (20 year project).
